Brexit Sonnet No. 69 – ‘Stand the stand my party chose’

“So where do I get these super powerful shoes,
For that strong and stable stance of power?
Just perfect for the televisual news,
Just perfect for that happy press filled hour.
My friends do tell me it’s quite absurd this pose,
But my party tell me it’s quite the thing to do.
So let me stand the stand my party chose,
My Party before my friends (and country too!)
To strike this pose, I find is quite a strain,
And to hold it there as all do look and stare.
I have no brain, it plays the party game,
I follow sheep like – splaying feet to scare.”
….So use not stance in polling booth this week,
Just cross out Brexit. Make their future bleak….
