What!

What!

What about Brexit

Mays gone and wrecked it

Left us without a solution

to end the confusion

left us high and dry

With the remnant of Boris's lie

Lets not sink to a begging letter

we all know Britain can do better

We voted to leave, so lets go

Time to drop the final blow

Leave and not pay a penny

Signed----NOT from the few but the MANY.

Brexit: EU says short delay is possible if MPs back deal

Boris the Chameleon

I'm Boris The Tory
Born in a leaf of gold.
My ancestors The Liz'ards'
Here before money evolved.
I can change my colour to reflect
who I am,
To shock or amuse any creature or man.
I want to blend with the popular crew,
Bide my time then change my hue.
I want your attention
I want your eyes,
It's nothing to do with being worthy or wise.
See me! See me! I have this need,
It makes me wealthy living on greed.
If you can't out shine me then don't even try,
I don't care if you live or die.

Wanted

Wanted

I'm Latrodetus from Texas
looking for a mate
With my hour glass figure
i'm an interesting date
I have legs to die for
a home of finest thread
My beautiful red embelishment
will entice someone to bed
Love making out of this world
from which you wont recover
A truly fatal encounter
Your Arachnid Widow Lover.

Breakfast

Benefits Breakfast

a breakfast meal can be a thrill
if the food bank can comply
Eggs and bacon, you're mistaken
it's tins of beans in big supply
Bread a bit stale
Spread a bit pale
but given to me for free
I'm happy to share if you care
all washed down with a mug of tea.

Breakfast at the Commons

It's not uncommon at the commons
for kippers to appear
with door step toast and duckling roast
subsidized by commoners me dear
Egg benedict and mushrooms sweet
Bacon, hashbrowns a real nice treat
Share with you? not today
it's on the expense sheet all the way.

Gender

I went to a meeting today
It explained about the new thinking way
That sex isn't about biology or even psychology
or whether your straight, lesbian or gay

It's society that has driven this mode
a culture of "do as your told"
yet when left to choose
happiness exudes
and diversity is no longer on hold.

Choose or not choose as you wish
to romance, date or kiss
forget the birds and the bees
its about twigs and colourful leaves
it won't matter what gender your born
if you wish, you can be a UNICORN.
