Brussels - Out of Plaice?

 Fish on the menu? What a catch!

But will wine and dining match?

A last-ditch meal behind closed doors

Taut discussions, fraught with flaws.

 

Important “Heads”* not on a roll;

For whom indeed will the bells toll?

I talk in riddles, (tap on wrist?)

But you are smart, you get the gist!

 

London-Brussels – Eurostar

To keep on track, they raise the bar;

We poets wield such tools with ease …

O Metaphor! How you do tease!
