And in Third Place ...

The weekend blazes in full sun
With gentle sounds of bees that hum
But there's an eerie peace today
Car-less streets, hordes far away.

Full watering cans revive the flowers
Each delights in mini showers
They raise their heads in gratitude
Nature in its richest mood.

Trump struts in Scotland round golf green
While London crowds on TV screen
March in protest at his coming
His comments on Bo Jo were «stunning»!*

Meanwhile, all eyes on football peeled
Anglais and Belges upon the field
An exercise in saving face
For the coveted third place!

Red Devils hit two in the net;
For the runners-up, one can detect
Great disappointment and despair
In Twenty-Two – will they be there?
