The Bad Penny

So it seems that the new leader of UKIP has resigned. This poem is called Bad Penny

Is he lurking in the shadows,

hiding under stairs,

watching round the corner

 to catch you unawares?

Is he snaking through the shrubbery,

waiting beneath the bed?

Is he prowling in the darkness?

This bogeyman’s not dead.

We thought we’d seen the last of him.

We’d wished him bon voyage.

But like the proverbial bad penny,

Here comes Nigel Farage.

Party Poopers

The British Government have spent the weekend trying to decide if they want a soft or hard Brexit. I want to tell them it is not a boiled egg. Instead I wrote a poem called

Party Poopers.

Like a drunk guy at a party,

we saying our goodbyes.

We’re intent on going home,

but is that regret in their eyes?

We’ve kissed the host, and now we’re

lingering on the brink,

we’re hoping someone says to us

hey have another drink.

We know that if we leave now,

we’ll miss all the fun.

But our other half has spoken,

and they want us home by one.

So we’re really going to do this,

the taxis on it way,

but we don’t know how to get home,

or how much will have to pay.

Hang on a Minute

Not much preamble today, just to say Boris has been in Turkey singing in the praises of the EU and promising to help Turkey to join. Now Hang on a Minute.

During the referendum

the campaign of hate and fear

said Turkey will join the EU

Millions coming over here.

 Boris was a Brexiter

 and now he’s Foreign Secretary

 and he’s been on his travels.

Representing Britain in Turkey

Now Turkey wants to join the Union

Boris said he’d lend his clout

to help them join the institution

From which he took us out.

So when Turkey join the EU

with the help of old BO JO

He’ll turn to us British citizens

and I say See, I told you so.
