A Darker Shade of Blue

And so it was that later
As Sanna told her tale
That her land, at first just neutral
Turned a darker shade of blue

How about this version?

And so it was that later
As Sanna's voice rang out true
That her land, at first just neutral
Turned a darker shade of blue

To quote Samuel Jackson's character in "Jackie Brown", that shit rhymes!

So the Great Tory Backlash of 1979 has finally arrived in Finland
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

Well that may be, but my map shows NATO membership status.

So light blue are 'impending', and Finland should now be dark blue?
And Bosnia has yet to get it's official invite?

Yes, Finland should indeed become a darker shade of blue.

Uncertain of Bosnia's status.

Apparently Finland's first official act as a member of NATO was to present Finland's ratification of Sweden's membership application.

As a national of a NATO country where I have spent less than 0.07% of my life and whose language I do not understand, I welcome Finland to our ranks, and hope to extend the same welcome to Sweden soon.

Okay then. I'll take that as two bluebirds with one stone.
