EU Migrants

It’s said that shops would not exist if migrants were no more,

But that ignores the fact they managed very well before,

There were so many migrants from throughout the whole EU,

And really represents a very blinkered type of view,

Like saying that our cafes and our hospitals would crash

And all the service industries would vanish in a flash.

The truth is every migrant who arrives and brings some skills,

And one of many vacancies immediately fills,

Like everyone who lives here will also have to call

On all the many services used daily by us all.

So all the EU migrants who are working here just mean

The population’s bigger, and it should be clearly seen,

That if they left then others would replace them in their roles,

With English girls in all the posts held currently by Poles.

But there would seem no reason why the millions shouldn’t stay,

For nearly all are working and for years have paid their way.

And not because they’re needed to do jobs that others won’t,

For Englishmen will take them if the migrant workers don’t.
