For many years we have stood side by side Unthinkable to contemplate your loss If you should leave, bereft we would abide And both of us must count the heavy cost We have not always been the best of friends I know you feel our union was forced But all those ****** battles had to end Since then do our achievements count for nought? The whole is better than the sum of parts Oh Caledonia, it's up to you Is our historic partnership to last Or do we have to bid a friend adieu By voting, not by battle you decide Remain, or by the claymore sever ties
Later this year the people of Scotland will vote in a referendum to decide whether or not they wish to remain part of the United Kingdom. The claymore is a traditional Scottish sword. My first attempt at a sonnet.
