Germany seeks to right the wrongs of the past,
But sometimes the truth is aghast.
When it's uncomfortable to face,
They try to erase,
Yet history's lessons must forever last.

There was a leader named Bibi, so slick,
Accused of being quite a hater and sick,
On Macron, Carney, and Starmer,
His words caused quite a clamor,
Accusations of slander did the trick.

But his words were clearly wrong,
Now he's facing backlash, the blow.

With thunder and twisters on stage,
People stay safe in their shelters,
Watching as nature falters,
Hoping for calm in this stormy page.

Devon, Cornwall, and Ireland, yes, bizarre.

An underwater sizzle, oh what a scar!

A group of diplomats in shock,
As Israeli troops began to squawk,
Fired warning shots in the air,
Creating quite a scare,
In the West Bank where tensions stalk.
There once were diplomats in a row
To the West Bank they wanted to go
Israeli troops gave a fright
With shots in the night
Their warning sent a clear message, you know
In Hungary, the press faces a plight,
Legislation may dim freedom's light,
The EU is urged to act,
To protect and react,
Ensuring journalists can still write.

Where Brexit brought plenty of discourse

About Eurovision's high-cost bet,
With hosting a show,

But the music's a surefire offset.

In Europe's dry spring weather so bleak,
Respite in rain is what they seek,
Clouds will gather and darken,
The parched land will hearken,
As droplets bring life to the creek.

There once was a place called Ibiza,
Where the party scene was a fever.
From '98 to '03,
Nightclubbing so free,
The memories will last forever.
In the Baltic, a shadow fleet did roam
EU ministers called it to atone
Coordination they sought
For the ships that they caught
Ensuring no illegal actions condone
