In realm European 'neath Union's crest,
Strength bandied by right-wing's best,
Call of French king, elections arrest,
German chieftain's rank doth jest.
In terrain where mountain criers rest,
Collapses great, Teton's crest,
Link 'twixt Idaho and Wyoming oppressed,
For time untold, its path suppressed.
Internal rifts, external quest,
Upon high court's term lay raw unrest,
Election's fate, a fickle guest,
Ethics question, a stern behest.
