First thing I did, 24th:- buy single-malt
Scotch - Islay, peaty, grounded Hebridean.
What else is a true Englishman to do, seeing
his country fall under the shifting fault?

Take a comfort in articulate birds
who will fall silent soon, their season through -
flower species proliferate; strange bugs boo,
though swallows clack up all their swarming worlds?

'It's Just Boris' gets his arm blown off for sure;
up goes the ARCNET* - One bullet for Nigel*;
then, estate by estate, vermin clearance -

all racists packed off post-haste to Rigel*.
I can see it all - yet one more bottle's lure
is in my soul, as I shout: "Good Riddance!"

*Re MIB3
*Nigel Farage (Farrago) - who boasted Brexit was accomplished without 'a single bullet'???? despite the death of Jo Cox! (Why is he mentioning bullets at all - the Fascist!)
*Rigel is a star. Its a bloody long way away is all we need here.
