Through me among the people lost for aye –
Dante
We were set upon by the leopard
the lion and the stinking she-wolf –
also known in these parts as Pleasure
Ambition and that foul Avarice –
whilst stiff Reason stood off-stage
with no straight lines or measures –
as our small state folded in on itself –
as our families split because of it –
and now wade through a cesspit
left by the cage-padding haters
Do not turn back the clocks
unless you have the time
to reset your circadian rhythm
and so to fall into line
The Leavers love the thought
that Europe will end this game –
so that Britain will reverse
to a different time again
Perhaps revisiting 1916
and war-footings everwhere –
The cowards will stay in Britain
because Europe is over there
White feathers for the three –
for Gove – Johnson and Mogg –
may they seek some forgiveness
from the dead who fought for love
And in the spring in England –
as good times rush to leave –
those rotters on the omnibus
won’t stand by lies they weaved
Mail on Sunday tripe
I am backing Theresa May
Let’s get on with the job
Thus tweeted Boris J –
still refusing to admit
he’s keen on Leadership
but this country knows
he was the right arse
to a bum-fumbling Gove
She’ll not be swept back
to Downing Street,
her election broom snapped
under the weight;
the Tories will seek
‘a strong and stable’ hand,
to pick up the broom
and lead these lands.
For now she will clean
without the right tools,
whilst Boris and Rudd
agree which of them rules.
The UK untidy,
until the new cleaner sweeps,
austerity to continue
because brooms aren’t cheap.
Pooh and Eeyore
were spotted down town
dinner for two,
the c#nt and the clown,
whilst out on the street
their free limos purred,
poisoning the air,
as the pair conversed;
a meeting of minds
in a New York bar,
then back to the day jobs
to cause more harm.
