The G20 summit. A time for the leaders of the world’s biggest economies to meet up and discuss the fate of the world.
It’s also a time when the leaders are forced to smile, or grimace, as they shake hands with each other while the press snap photos. Take Donald Trump and Angela Merkel, for example. These two produced some wonderful photos which looked slightly like they were singing to each other.
If they were in a karaoke bar winding down from a busy day at the G20, this classic George and Ira Gershwin song would be a contender.
Things have come to a pretty pass, our romance is growing flat
For you like this and the other, While I go for this and that
Goodness knows what the end will be, oh, I don’t know where I’m at
It looks as if we two will never be one, something must be done
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto
Let’s call the whole thing off!
