There once was a leader named Le Pen
Whose rulings sparked ire again
With attacks on court's might
The right wing took flight
Their authority questioned, oh when?
In the land of academia, so vast,
Trump's targeting universities, so fast,
But fear not, there's hope,
With strategies to cope,
Together, we'll make this storm past.

She joined the spy race,
Fighting Nazis, defending what's right.

With deceitful accord
In a web of deceitful romance

To ease the nation's debt,
Hoping for a brighter atmosphere.
