Will Brexit Come



Brexit – will it ever come?
Or will we just remain, as some
At present think, within the fold
Until the whole EU grows cold,
As countries all decide to leave,
Thinking that they will achieve
A better life, if on their own,
Away from Brussels constant drone.
And some of them like France are large,
And very easily could discharge
Their own affairs, unfettered by
Interference from on high.
Some people, too, in Italy,
Would much prefer that they were free
Of Brussels and its constant greed,
Which they are certain they don’t need.
Smaller countries too have said
That they’re unhappy and they dread
More interference in their lives,
By those who care not who survives.
Most want to keep their nation state,
And see the EU’s plans equate
With all subsumed within the one,
When Brussels’ final plans are done.
So if we wait, the whole EU,
Might have tumbled, and just a few
Like Germany, might still be round,
To hold the smaller EU’s ground.
And Britain will just drift away,
With others who don’t want to stay.
