As the year draws to a close, it feels
Time to rewind top news reels
And think about what has occurred:
Good, bad, ugly - and plain weird!
New Belgian astronaut* in space!
Some Eurocrats have been
disgraced
Regimes strict silence dissent
Yet zero-COVID rules relent…
Most music now is streamed on line;
Should fireworks be banned this time
With heightened air pollution worries?
And what of Uri’s** fierce snow flurries?
Man has made progress, it is true
On vaccines, smart inventions too
But famine, war and lust for power
Still challenge us at every
hour!
