He’s Herman Van RompuyBelgian Prime Minister
His name might sound jolly
Or it could seem sinister
But whatever effect
His name might inspire
This president elect
Has got hold of the fire
He’s carrying the torch
For a unified Europe
He’s hot like a scorch
And he’s sweet, like syrup
The kind that you pour
On a thick Belgian waffle
Some say the choice is poor
Some say that it’s awful
Some say he’s obscure
Like they haven’t heard of Belgium
I say Tony Blair
Is mere British bubblegum
Van Rompuy’s the man
For this difficult era
His unanimous election
Was not reached in error
He'll do nothing to blemish
His ceremonial post
This Christian Democrat, Flemish
Will make of it the most
His voice shall be heard
He’ll be both strong and thorough
The currency of the world
Will soon be the Euro
So hail Van Rompuy!
Your rise I announce
A name as fun to say
As it’s hard to pronounce
Van Rompuy Van Rompuy
I’ll say it again
The leader for Europeae
And prince among men
--Dan Kilian
