Russia Gives Europe the Cold Shoulder

Europe is in a great big freeze
Poland has been brought to its knees
The Ukraine is much of the same
As are the Slovaks,
The Croats and Greeks.

Russia decreased its gas supply
To neighbours who really need to buy.
For hours, they had no power
Officials at hand
Blamed demand too high.

England has had a little snow
It’s common but you’d never know.
Flurries have caused grave worries
Affecting train lines
And plane times and roads.

North winds have brought the cold air here
High pressure stops warm air getting near
Will it be longer ‘til it gets warmer?
Not ‘til we forego
East air flows, at least.
