The Result of the Referendum

The referendum’s getting nearer – have the pollsters got it right?

Will it be, as they’re predicting, very much a close-run fight?

But with those “Remain In” voters  getting just a fraction more

Support from all the country’s voters, giving them a final score

Which means that Britain stays in Europe, now until the end of time,

Something that with loads of people and their many friends would chime.

But it could be they’re mistaken, and the “Leave” share will come through

With that longed-for higher figure, giving first place in the queue;

What will happen if the counting shows the “Leave” vote well ahead,

Something many politicians if they’re honest really dread?

Only time will show the answer; meanwhile we must wait and see,

When the votes have all been counted, what the end result will be.
