Theresa May What Should We Say

Oh May,
What should we say?
Turning around the U.K in this way
Many react with dismay
Others shouting hooray!
Can we have our cake and eat it in a jiffy?
As soon as we have triggered Article fifty?
Can she be so clear
To cause such fear?
In Europe and in Blighty
Is she speaking eruditely?
Some liken her to Thatcher
Can she match her?
Yet another tremor in UK's political earthquake
causing further trepidation for what will be at stake
For some a disquieting unease
While others are content even pleased
Not knowing what our neighbour's admit
causing more prudence to every Brit
Employees having to be displaced
In a Brexit Race
Or choosing to stay in the UK and lose employment
Is this what we call enjoyment?
Oh May
What should we say?
Between denial and rationalisation we ricochet

Very realistic ... Very well written ... But a time may come when the mental mechanism will not work ...
