France Walks a Tightrope!

The French elections have backfired;

A Belgian compromise – required!

Hung high and dry, the choice is stark

This ménage à trois seems dark…

 

The first round caused waves of dismay

Hence, more voters made their way

To cast their vote with heavy heart

For Macron - upset apple cart!

 

First-past-the-post? A broken dream

He took a chance on a new scene …

Wheeling and dealing must be done

As there is no Number One.

 

Step up to the plate, new faces!

Time to put France through its paces!

And with a full two years to go

He cannot have another throw!
