Oh How Then

Oh How Then
The powers that be took us into this mess
And we as people decided to act
Yes that’s right we banged our pans and spoons
Screeching ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
You there over there yes you in Europe
With your plans and rules and laws and languages
We are English and do not want your rules
Or to be ruled by you from citadel Europe
What will we gain from this?
Having to use Metric instead of Imperial
Pity the market traders now in jail
For refusing to bow down to Metric
In a clink with druggies and gangsters and murderers
But the Euro MPs should be inside
For maiming our lives with their red tape
From fishing quotas to banana size
They say jump and we ask how high?
So we did jump and jumped out of Europe!
Some wanted to Remain but I voted Leave
Yet what a mess it created oh dear
May’s leadership is tatty just like her
And her job is hard even damned
But there is No Deal with the chaos it brings
Brings to us in England and you in Europe
What will it really bring?
A sense of leaving but then what?
Increased air fares, a need for Visas and new wars???
Time will tell...
