The Tour de France is getting tense ...
It's 50 years since Man-on-Moon;
More space-led projects coming soon?
And talking of another mission
A lady now tops the Commission
By a narrow squeak; sharp birthing pains
For this friend of Merkel, whose star wanes.
Uneasiness in banking realm
Which likewise boasts dame at the helm
How the fickle public soon forgets
The triumphs of those suffragettes!
Post-election Belgium still divided
Coalition footwork undecided
Vast crowds in Wimbledon proclaim
Djokovic's deft strokes again!
Already Bastille Day is past;
Will the 21st be overcast?
Watch out for fireworks – they are free
Brussels – still the place to be!
