So Now We’re Out
So now we’re out, what will we do?
For I don’t know, and nor do you;
When will it be and who will lead?
And all the while we’ve mouths to feed.
Will money still keep coming in?
Or does the hardship soon begin?
Will we all still keep our jobs,
Or unemployment breed great mobs?
Will borders now become secure,
Or will uncertainty endure?
And what of travel? Can we go
To fly to Spain on that jumbo?
Or will the price just rise and soar
Until it costs us too much more?
There’s much we need to do ‘ere then
To work out how, and what, and when.
We need someone to show a lead,
Prioritise the country’s need;
Someone to go the extra mile
In service of our sceptred isle.
An outward looking Anglophile
To manage our Euro exile.
Although we didn’t all agree,
The vote was plain for all to see;
Democracy has spoken clear,
And we must all move on from here.
Where we end up, who will know?
But in the end, we chose to go.

Thanks for the comments. I'm actually pretty sure nobody knows where we're going from here. The pre-vote polls had it close but a probable 'Remain' result. The government establishment seemed to be hanging their hat on that, and made no preparation for what happened with a 'Leave' result. And now they're abdicating in droves, it seems, toys flying out of pram! The 'Leave' campaign too don't seem to have any credible plans, so really are no help. I guess the problem will be finding somebody competent(!!) to lead the process and also deal with the day to day running of the country, that is acceptable to the electorate. I wouldn't be surprised if a general election crops up.
