Villanelle Nr.14 — Brexit Villanelle

Bolloxed by uncertainty the British battle through  
crazy guys have got a grip and push their own decree  
honest brokers tear their hair and wonder what to do  
  
Theresa’s had her chances, yes, and all of them she blew  
now the E.U dictate terms as everyone can see -  
bolloxed by uncertainty the British battle through  
   
The marching million made their point - the options weren’t just two  
many millions signed on-line and put the case for free  
honest people tear their hair - what else are they to do?  
   
A million Brits who live abroad are feeling in a stew  
several million Europeans sipping English tea  
bolloxed by uncertainty the workers battle through  
   
As I write, the outcome is we’ve really not a clue  
whose agenda finally will be the one to be -  
honest brokers tear their hair and wonder what to do  
   
When the nonsense gets to me, I’m feeling down and blue  
I have a simple anti-dote … I click on DUP -  
bolloxed by uncertainty the poets battle through  
NaPo writers tear their hair and wonder what to do.
