At fever pitch the days pass by
Under an uncertain sky;
I scan the news – more sport comes up
“Point of Law” wins Melbourne Cup…
Storms flood Queensland, monsoon rains
Cause chaos - overwhelming drains.
Trees fall like matchsticks in the street…
Antigua sees G20 meet!
Although we’re not out of the woods
Relaxing rules for BREXIT goods …
High-speed rain crash down in Spain
Oz Interest rates go up - again*!
A hotch-potch of assorted views;
Now U.S. Mid-Terms make the news:
Blue fights Red
and ups the pace
Soon time will tell who wins the race!
