France erupted in confusion
Battles in the street
Pension age intrusion
We all could feel the heat
It clearly wasn’t wise
To attempt a regal time
Everyone could realise
Such an awkward climb
Really wasn’t opportune
Macron understood
Expressing cancellation
It wasn’t seen as good
The king stayed in his counting house
The people in the street
Immersed themselves in fighting the good fight
Creating heat
It made no sense
The timing it made no sense at all
Macron cancelled the visit
With His back against the wall
Truncheons flaying every way
Black sacks thrown about
Such frightening behaviour
Everywhere great doubt.
