| Theresa May has announced that she will resign on June 7, 2019. |
The Brexit poisoned chalice
Releases bile and malice
While people, pub to Palace,
Ask what on earth it means.
But now, to add confusion,
With her plan proved mere illusion
May's reign has reached conclusion
So they plot behind the scenes.
Her power in transition
Sees the country facing fission
And has triggered mad ambition
In buffoons and drama queens.
Referendum or election
To stop Britain's vivisection
And its chronic misdirection
As it plays out on our screens?
