A cursory rhyme

Today, I'm somewhat dismayed at various news reports of extremist racist, political and religious groups fanning the fire of hatred and instigating their communities to protest in huge numbers, even to repeat the riots of May 13, 1969, to oppose our government's consideration for ratification of The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), a UN convention.

At the same time, I'm surprised by news of the King marrying a Russian wife in Moscow. (The report by The New Straits Times, published two days ago, seems to have been taken down for unknown reasons.)

This little rhyme comes to mind:
Hey diddle, diddle.
ICERD is in a muddle.
Protesters threaten the scene.
The whole world laughs at such poor sport,
And the king speaks Russian to the queen.

This is a cursory rhyme adapted from a nursery rhyme.
