In—well now, what is the name of this jig?
Cancan, or Carmagnole? Blend of the two?
Anyhow, 'tis a most strange "Pas de Deux"!
Policy makes pride and principles plastic,
And 'tis most true that extremes often meet;
Yet as a sample of joint "Light Fantastic"
This dual dance must be baddish to beat.
Beauty and Beast vis-à-vis in the dance,
Were scarce funnier partners than Russia and France.
Autocrat Bruin, can he really relish
