Europe Seesaws ...

To prevent ourselves from going daft
In this «climate», let us laugh.
Cartoon jokes proliferate
Our funny bones rejoice - it's great!

The Brits miss BREXIT and they moan
That jobless, they must stay at home
Auctioned Loo rolls? There's a glut
But hey, our food stores do not shut.

Belgium's Government sworn in!
What miracles these times now bring.
Elections postponed – avoid queues
Ballet and Opera - streaming views!

Cancellations mean all rendezvous
Are 'whited out' – we watch the news
Surrealist attitudes on line
As fake and fact now intertwine!

The lock-down leaves the French undaunted
Macron will fine those who flaunt it
Merkel's borders are now closed
What will happen next? Who knows?
