Bright warm days in duck-blue sky
After hailstorms, all is dry
Dogs and their masters rush on by
Down dappled way;
The fiery heat turned down to cool
Children, joyful, back at school
In city centre,
strikers* duel:
Their gripe? More
pay!
Abroad, two land-locked Nations fight
As each side wants to hold on tight
But Pyrrhic gains just don’t seem right
To settle scores ;
Reservists flee, they fear the worst;
NATO digs deep in its purse:
This ‘Special Operation’ nursed
By Bear-like claws !

*Strikes are a frequent occurrence in Brussels!
