Brexit Impasse
Just how crazy can it get?
This cruelly wasted chance
No clear way forward emerging yet
We’re being led a merry dance
‘Leaders’ push, pull, point, all in vain
They’re facing different ways
Concerned only, it seems, for political gain
Yet running out of days
Decision referred to a people’s vote
Then lurching to a general election
This circus must have seemed remote
All oblivious to sure EU rejection
Cometh the hour, cometh the man?
With courage to grasp the nettle?
A will-do attitude, not ‘no-can’
A LEADER who has some mettle
But no one out there seems up to the job
They’re letting the UK down
I’ve wasted two votes and want to sob
Was it me who was the clown?
Thought for the Day #12
A soul is weightless; few consciences are
The Fallen
Standing still to remember
Eleventh hour of eleventh day
Grey monument in November
Two quiet minutes lamenting pass
As uncounted leaves fall from trees
Lying peaceful, anonymous, in the grass
Tomorrow
Come tomorrow, come quick
Bringing a vacuum to be filled
Minds open to new possibilities
Which today had denied us
Page turned to a clean sheet
Past mistakes put aside
Wiped, prejudices born of experience
Letting anything be possible
To Boldly Go….
Say ‘Ahh’ for the true Brexiteers
Thinking themselves to be pioneers
Rushing to the cliff edge, with no safety ledge
Tossing themselves in a sea made of tears
What chance we might make it alone?
Former allies with faces of stone
Old enemies a pack, no need to attack
As we step into the big unknown
An Unexpected Caller
A caller rang the doorbell
Straight way my heartbeat skipped
Who can this be a-ringing
With no visitors on the script
The house is so untidy
I haven’t combed my hair
Fish smells linger from the kitchen
The timing’s so unfair
No chance to try addressing
The mad jumble of concerns
Again the bell rings threatening
To open my can of worms
A moment’s hesitation
Safe this side of the door
Jumping with surprise as
A note flutters to the floor
Then footsteps gate-ward tread
As I guiltily scan the card
‘We tried to deliver a parcel today
You must collect it from our yard’
