Brexit
I hardly brew coffee alongside the metaphor of
English mornings blended with summer’s febrile breath.
But, on this occasion, I did....
It was a stifling moment on television.
The social media was abuzz with the hiss of
Integrated journalism. I hated this moment I failed to believe myself
Upon the altar of this recent toponym. BREXIT.
The name plinks with resounding voices,

Talent Stifled
Middle aged man in Docs,
vintage leather jacket and
grey haired pubes around his cock.
Ill fitting tour shirts rekindling a hazy past.
Barrowlands, The Bunnymen. Hammersmith Odeon,The Clash.
U2 at University pre Bono crawling up his own ****.
Danced and hugged on stage with Terry Hall,
arrested for d&d outside Bradfords Great Hall,
after watching John Cooper Clarke supporting The Fall.

What Was Brexit Really About
I can’t help but notice Remain think Leave want to roll back the clock
as if we could again rule the waves with a million ships in the dock
they say we dream of an empire on which the sunshine never stops
using this assumption they’ve invented just to mock
They live with this idea that

Brexit Pandemic Climate Taliban
Remember Brexit and how it was the worst CRISIS to ever happen,
since then....

America replaced Trump with someone more deranged

Covid Testing Brexit
Remain said stay in Europe
vaccinating feeble
Brexit said we're walking
vaccinating people
Covid came to test
who handles matters best
the outcome would suggest
we've more because we're less
they have much more to offer
but Britain has more blossom
the EUnfilled potential
puts Brussels up our bottom
we got out just in

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

Brexit
Breeding and for that matter breathing has taken over the spluttering world
Retroviruses conduct symphonies for nostalgic post-apocalyptic mindfulness
Entropic madness gathers its pace as fast as loo roles escape from the shops
Xenophobia implicates the roots of all epic evil as derived from foreign strands
Itinerant chaos does not adhere to manmade boundaries as the clock runs down
To

The Saga of Suzanne the Snowflake and Cyril the Racist Ware Squirrel Part 3
continues ....
(for it 'twas by him that she was awoken).
'Dont listen to hate, or give in to fear,
He said with a countenance kindly,
remember your Vedas and mantras,
Let your be life be lived for the many,
and not for the few,
don't be led into fascism blindly'!
With these wise, timely words

Thesaga of Suzanne the Snowflake and Cyril the Racist Ware Squirrel Part 2
And there the story might have ended
But the bite on Suzanne's thumb
Throbbed and became distended,
'I must say, I feel a little rum',
she said and lay down on her bed,
but as she fell asleep a patch of fur
started growing on her tum.
She slept a light and fitful sleep
Full

The Saga of Suzanne the Snowflake and Cyril the Racist Ware Squirrel Part 1
Cyril is a squirrel that comes from the Wirral,
he looks cute and furry but he's gone a bit feral,
Cyril dislikes foreign squirrels,
won't hear no ifs or buts,
he says the tide of squirrelgrants are going to have all the nuts,
Cyril voted ukip and cheered when brexit won,
The says 'now we've

Brexit
Brexit!
The dreaded word,
haunts us once again,
Oh!Visions of doom, burst and gloom!
lies and false promises spun in looms,
In Houses of Parliament rooms,
To craft election win,
And enforce,
Brexit!

Brexit, Brexit, Mon Amour
Shall I compare thee unto a crate of beer,
or, if not that, then unto washing powder?
Today I shun all things that are austere;
soft tones must yield to songs that are far louder.
May's shandy was for working men too sweet.
Newcastle Brown for them is much more dandy.
Reese-Mogg appealed but to the high elite.
It's Boris now

Brexit
The UK seeks to leave the EU.
It's no longer enjoying the view
of its friends 'cross the water
'cause it thinks it's much hotter
than its neighbors. Alright then - adieu!
NB: According to Webster, the word "adieu" is pronounced in English like "ado".

Scotland In Eu
In EU Scotland wants to remain.
It has nothing with Britain to gain.
It will lose Liz the Queen.
But the Queen it has seen
quite enough. Time to sever the chain.
