WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
(You can see that I'm on to a winner)
I’ll tell you a true story and I think you’ll find it funny.
I’d gone into the bookies where I often part with money.
I fancied a quick flutter as occasionally I do
On the Referendum we’ll soon have on the EU.
Although I’ll vote for “STAY” myself, cos that’s what I believe
I rather think the stupid British will decide to leave.
And having faith in Old John Bull and all those silly sods
I thought it worth me finding out the bookies with best odds.
I’d seen the odds were 5/2 the Saturday before
But thought since Boris had his say they might close in some more.
The woman at the counter in BetFred’s den of vice
Looked up at me and so I said, “I’d like to know a price”.
“What on?” she asked, suspecting I was being sly and cunning;
“The EU Referendum”. She said, “What time is it running?”

As ever, MC, I respect your viewpoint. The real strength of our society is that we will decide this matter in the ballot box.
