WHY? On the eve of March 29th 2019
Why would the English consider playing the fool
and bend the knee to Brussels' "lords of misrule" -
whose distant orders and decisions come from those
they can never elect - let alone ever depose?
Why would the English, with their freedom-framed history,
Vote for rule from abroad - THAT is the mystery!
But I take the position (and I'm not being skittish)
that the answer is in the description "British";
A word that's extended beyond its old definition
To encompass much more than home and tradition,
And with that has comes a wide disparity of views -
influencing a decision to agree or refuse;
The ongoing arguments and banner-waving fuss
would be alien to that man on the Clapham omnibus!

Don - would you vote for Australia to be run by the countries of South East Asia - even assuming you weren't grievously misled along the way?
Cheers,
