Six Days since Brexit

It’s six days since BREXIT; the UK’s still here,

And one gets the feeling there’s little to fear;

Some people may rant and proclaim it’s all doom,

And all should be filled with depression and gloom;

But those of us looking with eyes open wide,

See signs which make us look forward with pride;

New trading agreements, replacing the old,

Bringing the Commonwealth back in the fold;

Joining the Nordics more closely than now;

No-one in export would ever avow

That people won’t trade with us now that we’ve said

We’d rather in future not be Brussels led.

The Poles will all stay here as long as they want;

We’ll have with the EU a friendly détente;

Our fishermen likely will prosper once more,

Though one can’t be certain just what is in store;

Laws can be passed which will profit just us,

And we will be free from a great deal of fuss

Involved in ensuring we always comply

With things set by Brussels we’d rather pass by;

With no need each year to send vast sums abroad

We may find in future that we can afford

A better health service, and help for the poor,

Which many might think has a lot of allure.

Of course there’s uncertainty with something new,

But those who see only doom haven’t a clue

For there is no chance that Great Britain will drown,

But rather will flourish, once things settle down.
