Passport To Confusion... Poem by Denis Martindale

It's thanks to Europe I'm confused, who rules the British Isles?
The years have passed, I'm not amused, I'm rarely prone to smiles.
They've passed so many foolish laws, our leaders then agreed
And now that these have run their course, we've seen their flaws succeed.
I'd like to see us leave behind the follies of the past,
That none would think in their right mind would come and stay and last...
I'd like to say farewell to France and Germany as well,
It's only now we've got the chance! Break free and break the spell...
I'd like to see the British blessed, yet that of course takes time...
But once we're free, we'll prove we're best... and that will be sublime!


Denis Martindale March 2018.


The poem questions the role of the British in
Europe: Is it time to leave, or time to stay?
