The Day After the Uk Eu Referendum Campaign

The public turned out Ballots were counted And the results read out Surely that’s it That’s how democracy works Whether you like it or not The will of the majority wins out? But those who love money Don’t like to lose The markets have already had a pay out From our National Bank Added to the debt of the UK taxpayer no doubt To sure up those bets they made yesterday Speculating on the pound Thinking during a referendum was a good time To financially win out Is nothing sacred in our land? Sadiq Khan's plan is that The City of London Should make its own independent stand Against the will of this land And Boris now says “There’s no need for haste!” Despite campaigning vigorously for The UK to leave (maybe he confused the UK with DC) But today supporting the financial markets Who now greave As it looks like due to our democratic will Those bad buggars in nice suits Will lose their plum deal Despite what the electorate said They’ll never let us leave! Oh Greece Your vote also dead Along with you I now seethe So what can we do if democracy is To be insulted in our fair shores Well I refer you to my earlier poem ‘The UK EU Referendum Campaign’ 589 days.... My friends That’s all it will take To get the whole rotten lot of em’ out! So if they won’t serve that notice and Let democracy have its day We’ll serve one of our own It states you have 589 days To mend your ways Get one to your MP today and have your say Mine's got one coming his way.... Anna Archichek
