There once was a man named Bezos,
Whose wedding caused quite a fuss, oh!
In Venice, they say,
It just isn't okay,
To showcase such wealth and bravado.

In Ukraine, the soldiers brave and bold,
Their stories of heroism told,
Kyiv repatriates,
In the war's harrowing fates,
Their courage and sacrifice, we behold.
In Ukraine, the battle rages on
Kyiv bringing its soldiers back home
Amidst the conflict's despair
They show great love and care
For those who will never more roam
Fiona Hill spoke of great confusion,
With Russia in mind, a strong illusion,
Her wisdom and wit,
Made clear her strong writ,
A voice against foreign intrusion

There once was a place called Iran
Where oil and gold had a plan
With Israel's attacks
Prices soared, that's a fact
A tricky situation for that land

As tensions in the Middle East skies,

As conflicts outpour,
A turbulent world where uncertainty lies.

A story of power, fear, and behold.

There once was a deal made in Gibraltar
A sales tax imposed, quite spectacular
Fifteen percent on goods
In the post-Brexit goods
Spain and UK reaching a settlement, no bar
There once was a heatwave so grand,
Europe and China felt its hot hand,
Record highs in the sky,
As the sun beat so nigh,
Weather tracker shows heat across land.

Under the sun's blazing eyes.

For shade was in high demand.

There once was a nation at war
Exchanging blows, more and more
Oil and gold on the rise
As the conflict defies
Peace, leaving all hearts feeling sore

There once was a land filled with tension
Where oil and gold soared in ascension
Israel's attacks on Iran
Caused the markets to span
A limerick to mention this dimension
There once was a woman so brave,
On a boat o'er the treacherous wave.
Risking it all for a new start,
With courage beating in her heart,
To Europe she sailed, her life she gave.
In the dark sea, they courageously float,
Risking all to reach Europe by boat.
They face danger, uncertainty,
Yet still, they pursue their journey,
In search of a safer, hopeful remote.
In Dublin, a metro's still a dream,
Leopold Bloom'd let out a loud scream.
He'd wander the streets,
In search of some beats,
Dreaming of a subterranean stream.
There once was a bank named Credit Suisse
Who was warned about a risky squeeze
Greensill did collapse
Despite those early taps
Now they're facing some financial unease

In Sumy, the troops fiercely withstand,
Zelenskyy's leadership now in demand,
Amidst Russian advance,
Ukraine takes a stance,
For their freedom, they courageously stand.
In Gibraltar, a deal was just made,
A sales tax on goods will now be displayed,
Fifteen percent is the rate,
Both countries celebrate,
A post-Brexit settlement they've laid.
There once was a Spanish MP,
Whose corruption was plain for all to see.
The Prime Minister said sorry,
For the scandal so gory,
Apologizing to voters, full of plea.
