In the Netherlands, a sight to behold,
A vertical forest, captivating and bold,
Trees reaching for the sky,
Nature's beauty stacked high,
In pictures, this marvel is surely gold.

There once was a man from France
Who sought to give a second chance
To the ties with the UK
In a diplomatic display
Gabriel Attal took the stance

In Paris, a grand project takes flight,
Giant saints set to adorn Notre Dame's height,
With £600 million pledged,
The cathedral's edge will be wedged,
A restoration, a breathtaking sight.
In the US and Europe, heatwave does brew
The weather is scorching, it's true
Temperatures rise
Under blazing skies
Stay cool, or you'll melt like fondue

In France, they're working to mend,
Relations with the UK on the mend,
Gabriel Attal's the name,
Revitalizing their aim,
A new chapter both countries will tend.

In France, love gets a chance to bloom,
Phone booths bring couples out of gloom,
But funding cuts hit hard,
Rural services on guard,
Allo la France, still a quaint, charming room.
In the shadows of power they lurk
Refusing to name the cause, they shirk
Diplomacy they call
But the war still stands tall
Leaders, your silence will not work

In the midst of this war-torn land,
Leaders fail to take a firm stand.
Diplomacy they preach,
But the truth they won't reach,
Naming the cause still remains banned.

In Europe, defense plans are brewing,
With threats from Russia, they're stewing,
Polls show the people agree,
A stronger force they all see,
To ward off the dangers ensuing.
In France, a festival was key,
Where syringes were used to attack, you see,
Those arrested for the crime,
Committed such a heinous act in their prime,
Justice served, for a festival free.
There's a commander in Ukraine bold,
Vowing to strike with a strong hold,
He promises assault,
To make Russia halt,
In the conflict that's now growing old.
There once was a yacht in Sicily,
For Mike Lynch, it was a victory,
Transferred to the town,
From the water he'd crown,
Sailing the seas with much glee.
There once was a yacht quite divine,
Transferred to a Sicilian town so fine,
Mike Lynch's superyacht,
Sailed with luxury and sought,
In the Mediterranean, a glamorous shine
In Disneyland Paris one day,
A fake wedding caused quite a dismay,
With a child as the bride,
Police were called to decide,
To ensure the innocence did not sway.

There once was a tale quite bizarre,
Of a wedding that left people ajar,
At Disneyland Paris,
With a child as the heiress,
Police called in to investigate by car.

In Madrid, Photoespaña's alive,
Colonial legacies thrive,
Transitional scenes,
And chance in betweens,
In photos, these stories will strive.

With sorrow we mark this sad day
In Ukraine, the skies turned to gray
One million now lost
At such a high cost
We pray for a peaceful display
