Tongue-Tied?

Easter – fifty days ago!
Where the time goes, I don't know
Brave sun fights hard to pierce the clouds;
Brussels buzzes; tourist crowds ...

Wend their way in some despair
Through roadworks to our famous square;
New Brussels Parliament sworn in
The Federal Parliament still aswim ...

Complex Belgium, which I love,
Needs divine help from Above
To solve its coalition woes
Election over – in the throes ...

Of getting all new sides on board
Though extremist votes have soared
Hum ... Pentecost, the gift of tongues
Now that would help them up the rungs!
