Failure after failure and still they don’t see the inevitable:
I can see the abyss
Deep and wide
Filling up with the defunct Euro coins
The millstone of Europe
Right by the edge
Frantic
A lone Frenchman jumping up and down
Denying all
Pleading to be triple, A rated once again
Surely, he must see the end
As he slides
Feeling the soil eroding away beneath his feet
He hears the banks crumbling, yet is still in denial
Further over in the distance
Herr Chancellor dithering in the crumbling background
Wanting to be a headless chicken
Just so someone else can be blamed
Scattering around the seeds of forlorn hope
She knows the game is up
Hoping against hope that others do not realise this fact
It is all for naught
The good ship Euro sinks to oblivion
Testament to a pipe dream
