Brexit Weather Forecast

The long-term forecast,
Graphics on-screen,
Low over Britain,
Sweep of right-blown freeze:

Extreme off America,
Frosting our bias,
The return of the Pilgrims,
Re-routed on wireless.

Accents trailed West,
We say we are ‘liked’,
‘Literally’ rained-down,
From You Tube’s fat pipe.

Our children consume,
Screen-feeding frenzy,
Imagery of bigotry,
Old-age the young’s enemy.

Britain lays broken,
Scots cast afloat;
The forecast is grim,
However we vote.
