There once was a flood so immense,
In Sicily, it carved out a trench.
The Mediterranean roared,
Creating hills, so adored,
A natural wonder, oh so immense.

In Britain, a challenge they face,
With military spending's embrace,
Keynesian approach,
Defence funds encroach,
Reeves ponders the budget in place.

There once were some beavers so grand
Who flooded a training site unplanned
With dams they did build
The taxpayers thrilled
Saving millions in cash was quite grand

Dutch call for stick-fighting in the land,
Soft spaces out, let's revive the thrill,
No more worries, just pure skill,
Risky play, oh won't it be grand!

Tulip Siddiq was questioned,
For crimes not to be mentioned,
Will justice prevail or just dig?

In the Arctic, plans to mine did cease,
Norway had to hit pause, for peace.
Deep sea riches they sought,
But environmental thought,
For now, the deep sea will find some release.

In Brexit views, protection was sought,
But the tribunal decided and fought,
Discrimination was found,
In the workplace, it's unsound,
Rights must be respected, as we ought.

Artists create with a passion so deep,
Their talents in abundance, secrets they keep,
In their works, their heritage does strive.

Russian strikes bring darkness to the night,
Amidst war's cruel game,
Families fear and proclaim,
For peace, they all fervently fight.

There once was a gal from Slovenia,
In the Alps, she found joy and euphoria.
The mountains so grand,
Her heart they did expand,
In their shadow, she found her utopia.

Urges all to never cower in fear.
Against Russia's nuclear fright,
Stand tall, do what's right,
Let's not be intimidated, let's persevere.
