No On Should Hang Their Head In Shame

'>I feel a little poem story coming along.  You might as well share it now, as it would take me ages to put it in my book 10 of poems.
It was written today, 26th June 2016, three days into mourning after the referendum.  Vote to leave or stay in the EU.

No one should hang their head in shame.
By Stanley Russell Harris’
(The new mad Author)

GB voted to be sane.
Out at last from that mad EU.
I’d place a guard on that tunnel too.
Just in case, those nice lads now march through.
Must not give them ideas of what to do!

Of course GB's land mass is so small, I can now tell you.
Compared to other member countries of that blinking EU!
So why the panic, for what we do?
Little GB votes and the world's in a stew!

Politicians treated us public as thick.
I’m one of the public that made me sick.
So why should politicians be so thick.
We voted as our brains/hearts dictated it.

Great Britain was great before the Common Market.
Upgraded/downgraded to the European Union!
Depending on the way you view.
Now we are out.  Let’s give some clout.
To those politicians who voted out.
As with all of their brainpower.
Great Britain should grow by the hour.
Back to what it was before.

Supply enough fish for us to eat.
With a brand new fishing fleet!
Mining coal, black miner’s faces to greet!
The coalman calling down the street!
Let the foreigners their own fuel burn.
Great Britain’s fires on our fuel will burn.

Start our iron ore mines working again.
Make our own iron and steel.
Build big ships not boats I say.
Get Britain on its feet again.
You all can do it in the UK.
United we can work and also play.
There will always be someone to pray.
So buck up, cheer up, Great Britain’s here to stay.

PS Unless this blinking rain washes us away.
And on that note, I’ll say good day.

I must confess I posted this on BBC News Facebook page for something to do. As you do lol. Got 25 likes in 4 hours. So that's a nice birthday treat even if a day late lol again.  Have a nice referendum free day while the politicians sort themselves out. (The new mad Author) new as being GB and not EU.<
