IS IT ME ?

IS IT ME ?

No , no , no ! said Mrs May , I ’ ve told you once before , We ’ ll have no snap election , as polling ’ s such a bore . We ’ ve done the Euro Brexit , we ’ ve done the Scottish split , We ’ ve had enough of choosing , let ’ s just get on with it .
And then outside her slick black door , stood tall on Downing Street , Mrs May said , Yes , yes , yes , an election would be neat . I ’ ve had a little wander , a ramble and a think , And while on top of Snowdon , I thought Labour we can sink .
The others shouted , U-turn , you ’ ve gone and changed your mind , You ’ ve not done it for Britain , but to kick Corbyn ’ s behind ! No , no , retorted Theresa , you ’ re getting on my pip , And after all I offer strong and stable leadership !
Across the English Channel the telescopes were out , Looking back across the pond old Juncker he did pout . That Mrs May is such a minx , she ’ s sorting out her yard , She only likes one Brexit , and that Brexit is hard !
So Juncker formed his own plan , and gathered every member , He called his troops to dinner and said , We ’ ll sink her by December . So raise a glass and dine with me on finest filet mignon , And we ’ ll leak the fact that we ’ ll demand a chunky hundred billion !
But Mrs May was undeterred , her plan to rule remained , A plan to crush Old Labour , and see paradise regained . A plan to tackle Europe with David Davis ’ eyes , To replace pizza and pasta with jellied eels and pies .
The last political poem , the one that I last penned , Was full of Ukip , Farage , Cameron , Trump , the end ! We ’ ve come a long way since that ode , same world but different frame , And I ’ ve got a little bored with all the politics and games .
I for one , I must admit , am a little done with voting , I ’ m neither sad nor happy now , and I ’ m certainly not gloating . For me I think I ’ ve had my fill , polling card ‘ return to sender ’ I ’ ve had enough , I ’ m opting out , I ’ m with Bristol ’ s Brenda .
