IF YOU PULL A LONG BREXITING FACE : XLIV – 44
IF you pull a long-twisted Brexiting face
Pulled three more years by Santa Theresa May
« Eyes » to the Right and « Nose » to the Left gaze
Is the fate of phase after Letwin amendment delay
If you pull a long-pained Brexit-fixit-now face
Deal or No-Deal come yet what the Devil may
Scoff at Benn Act to be torn apart in court case
Set then precedence in Case Law if PM won’t obey
If you still keep pulling that long Back-Stop face
Stick foot in the slamming EURO door to stay
Le Vieux Continent put-off by antique grimace
Would Mary Queen of Scots excise Henry VIII’s UK
If you then pull the long borderless Irish face
Migrant mice will grow fat on illicit trade mellée
Till the microbiote in the innerns all borders efface
And the Brexit Isles will split asunder in dismay
Then if you pull the long put-together fallen face
Towed across the Atlantic moored as the 51st to allay
The fears of Norman Conquests taking over the States
Guess who foists upon the World the Union Jack – Hurray !

There are people who fix things
And those who won’t try
But strangely, a third type exists –
The ones who believe they
Can fix things, though why
Is unclear, yet their sureness persists.
They’ll attempt, with their tool kit,
All kinds of repairs
Though they rarely will meet with success
And when challenged, they’ll laugh
Or confront you with glares
And, of course, you’ll be left with a mess.
If you happen to know someone
Like I’ve described
The frustration’s familiar to you,
But there is no solution
That can be prescribed –
Every project becomes a snafu.

I heard the train comin'
With warning bells strummin'
And had to leap oughta the way!
The Guzzi Express, with no time to rest,
Steamed Highlander's limerick to play!
With chimney a smoke
Right at this poor bloke,
C. Richards did save the day!
Said I to myself, go give it a try,
Then flutter to one we call Butterfly!
Until that time, the Engineer must fixit,
And blow the horn for Jared Pickett!
*Keep the wheels rollin' .....Poet Butterfly! your next!... C. E. McMullin!
**But first! the Engineer requests the 'Master Poet' Jared Pickett! Continue The Game!
