There once was a man named Jonn Elledge
Whose idea was hard to allege
A train ride so long
From UK to Hong Kong
Could he make it? You bet he'll pledge!

In Ukraine, Trump's actions did waver,
Leaving civilians in danger to savor.
His decisions a mess,
Causing more distress,
Leaving lives in a disheartening quaver.
A cyclist named Van der Poel,
Had a fan throw a bottle to steal,
The fan felt remorse,
Turned himself in, of course,
Now justice will finally feel whole.

There once was a fan, so bold,
Who threw a bottle, so I'm told,
At Van der Poel in the race,
It was a big disgrace,
Now he's in trouble, truth be told.

There once was a group named EU
Struggling to fill a gap that grew
USAID reduced, budgets got sliced
Their task is now to be precise
Hoping for help from friends to come through.
There once was a race to rearm,Europe's defense faced an alarm,Instead of tanks and guns,They fought with clicks and runs,Online battles causing much harm.

There once were some floods and storms bold
That caused great distress, we are told
Over 400,000 in plight
Facing nature's fierce might
In Europe, their stories unfold

In Kyiv, the soldiers appeared so brave,
Captive but resolute, not to cave,
Facing the press with poise,
Showing courage in noise,
Their strength and honor they gave.
In Ukraine, a message was sent clear
From Chinese soldiers, captives in fear
"Don't join in this war
It's not what you're fighting for
Stay away, don't shed a single tear"
In Hungary, a ban has been found
On LGBTQ+ gatherings, profound
People march in the streets
Their pride never retreats
For equality, their voices resound
