Tragic Fire In London

London suffers  more catastrophe
As  screams awaken sleepers in this tower
A high rise block with only one exit
Oh, many  folk will take their mourning flowers.

Some  have made the SOS sign now
Seen by people standing in the street
The firefighters are not allowed  inside
So soon it will be death these people meet

Who designed these cheap and dangerous flats?
I can’t believe they had no fire exits
Was the Referendum a cheap vote?
Will we be asked to suffer through Brexit?

These cheap flats  brought death to many folks
To leave the EU  now seems but a jape.
