"remainers" poems
Twenty third June twenty sixteen
The biggest vote we’d ever seen
Results are in and Brexit win
and many say it’s such a sin
Those who voted not to leave
This news they just could not believe
Sore losers showed their bitter anguish
soon from Europe we would vanish
Let’s vote again remainers say
'No vote again' says Theresa May
Our country voted in or out
and voted out without a doubt
The apple cart tipped on its head
Britain in Europe would soon be dead
Now Brexit was born the following morn.
This beautiful kingdom from Europe be torn
Remainers are mad while leavers are glad
Great Britain is out there is no doubt
So shut up remainers, accept what is done
We voted together and Brexit won

On the twenty third of June, anniversary of my father’s death,
The United Kingdom voted to LEAVE the European Union.
It was a close-run thing:
Fifty two percent to forty eight,
Though over a million votes between.
A result that will go down in the annals of history.
Another vote the pollsters and bookmakers got wrong.
I voted Leave, confidently expecting to Lose!!!
My friends were split in two
As Remainers became ReMOANers!
For I’m now branded a nationalist, bigoted racist
Who has made a massive mistake.
But I insist: Britain has Rejoined the World
And Our Commonwealth.
We are reborn
So sure there will be teething troubles.
We’ll have to learn to walk and talk again.
Cast off your gloom, Remainers!
Rejoice the brand new day.
Britain can be great again
As the dawn chorus resonates around the globe.
Opportunity smiles down on us.
It won’t be easy,
But when ever was it so???
The Phoenix rises,
Unfurling its golden wings…

Stop! We need a second referendum!
Education on the topic was poor!
Quick! Introduce another addendum!
People don’t know what they were voting for!
What? You’re speaking a load of nonsense.
Anybody with eyes and ears would know,
The media bombardment was constant -
Yet the resounding answer was ‘Let’s go!’
You can’t proceed! The public are conflicted!
I beg to differ, you see I believe -
Any lack of knowledge is self-inflicted,
**** it up will you, we just want to leave!
Alas! It’s not possible you see,
Because the vote didn’t go our way.
Quiet! We’ll have vote number two, or three,
Until it says what we want it to say!
Remainers unite, let’s show them we’ll stay!
Disregard their uneducated opinion!
Brexiteers resist, come what may!
Stand and rebel against their dominion!
Who will win in this pre-planned battle?
Or is it an impasse-perpetual?
Neither side will win as we’re all cattle
Cannon fodder, for the great eventual.
