Exit Stage Left
If the Brexit Breferendum had been Branded Bremain would the outcome have differed, #thepowerofspin.
BrExit, whose Brainchild was that,
Disenfranchised by Brussles and BrEurocrats.
Burning our Bridges to Brace the Breeches.
Of borders Brexploited by Brigands and Leeches.
But were we too Brash? Perhaps a tad Brisk.
To Brexit stage left before assessing the risk.
Did the Braying press prey on our fears.
Brainwash the grey stuff between our ears.
Did we race to Brembrace a perceived impunity?
Brushing aside our strength in unity
Breaking apart our united nations
Brexchanging community for isolation
Did we take time out to ponder and Breflect
Upon the consequence of leaving, upon the nett Breffect
Or did we just Bruminate on what to do
With Brian and Brenda over a Brew
The topic was Broached and bandied about
In provincial pubs over Brandy and stout
Should we Breakout or should we Bremain
Breclaim our sovereignty long may we reign
Did we vote with our hearts instead of our Brains?
In the hope of making Britannia Brighter again.
Bar Brefugee’s and end Brimmigration
The Breconomic cornerstones of this Brilliant nation
And what about the Bravehearts who Brelected to stay
Dragged by their Breeks into the fray
Xenophobe and Xenophile Brawled in the street
One Brazen in glory one Brave in defeat
I sit and observe, one BreyeBrow raised
It was Brutal, I’m Breathless and somewhat amazed
A vicious Brouhaha and a closely fought fight
The Brexiteers accorded victory and the Bragging rights
So it’s bye to the Bratwurst, Brett, Brie and Brioche
No thanks we’re British shove your foreign tosh
With Brextraction looming in Theresa we trust
Where deal or no deal Brequates to shit or bust
Be it a Bresounding success or outright failure
Bruck this for a lark, I’m off to Australia

I like your honest poetry it is so readable and it leaves an imprint.
"But were we too brash? perhaps a tad brisk
to Brexit stage left before assessing the risk"?
Just two lines - and it says it all. What have we done?
