Life’s a rough ride, we’re at sea
As COVID will
not let us be
Used by the Swiss,
quite down to earth,
To give the
Beijing Games* wide berth.
'Party' politics
at Number Ten
Still rumble on
for Brit P.M.**
Tsunami chaos** overnight
…
Yet news side-lined
on Tonga’s plight!
Our priorities
have all gone west!
Journalists report
unrest
As East-West
leaders weigh in, bold
We wonder - is
the Cold War cold?
Troops deployed
like game of chess
As power lurks in
one man’s breast …
We must tread
carefully, take things slow
Who knows how
the wind will blow?
