There once was a man named Donald Trump
Who thought he was quite the big hump
He ruled with an iron fist
But his ego did persist
Now his legacy is left in a slump

In The Hague, a museum did hide,
Jewish workers kept safe inside,
From Nazi forced labor,
They found a kind neighbor,
In plain sight, their sanctuary did bide.

In Spain, a remarkable place,
Bone fragments of human face.
Oldest known in the West,
History at its best,
Unveiling the past's sacred grace.

In Gorbachev's limousine we did ride
In Moscow, love and music did collide
But now with Putin's reign
The joy turns to disdain
Neil Tennant's feelings he cannot hide

There once was a mystery so old,
About Jersey's huge iron age hoard told,
Archaeologists found,
The answer unbound,
The secret of its origins now bold.

There once was a leader named Ursula
Whose first 100 days caused some peculiar
A steep learning curve
With issues to observe
But she handled it all quite spectacular
In Switzerland, voices are loud,
A feminist choir, they are proud,
They yodel with glee,
Full of harmony,
Their message is clear, unbowed.
In Britain, a challenge they face,
With military spending's embrace,
Keynesian approach,
Defence funds encroach,
Reeves ponders the budget in place.

There once was a song from Malta's shore,
But its title caused quite the uproar,
Censored for a word a bit crude,
No harm was meant, just a bit lewd,
Now it's remembered forevermore.

There's a museum that's quite hors concours
In Vienna, it leaves you in awe
With creatures of past,
A journey so vast,
"Archive of the Future" leaves you wanting more

In Spain, the Iberian lynx did roam
But now its rewilding faces a dome
Hunters and farmers object
Their lobbying, a strong affect
Protection for the lynx, fighting for its home

There once was a singer so merry
Who loved Italy, oh, how very!
Accused of insults untold
But her love she'll uphold
In Eurovision, her song will carry

In France, love's lost its allure,
Their cœur no longer pure.
The French have fallen out of core,
What's love, they now ignore.
Romance's flame, now demure.

There's a circle in Denmark they've found,
Like Stonehenge, it's sure to astound.
With links to the UK,
Ancient mystery at play,
Archaeologists' joy knows no bound.

There once was a man named Trump,
Who claimed Ukraine was safe from a thump,
But now he sees the light,
Russia's invasion is clearly in sight,
Acknowledging truth, he takes a big jump.
In Germany, a ruling took place,
Birkenstocks are not seen as fine lace,
They're comfy, it's true,
But art? Not to construe,
Their design can't keep up in the race.
In talks to bring peace to Ukraine,
Lavrov mocked Europe's domain.
"Why invite them here?"
He sneers with a jeer,
But unity is what we must maintain.
There once was a man named Vance,
Who went to meet Zelenskyy in a dance,
European leaders called for unity,
Over Ukraine's situation so stormy,
Hope for peace they enhance.
