Brexit

Brexit

Course I hate this damned EU.
It's time we had our Waterloo.

Twilight

Novichok told Salisbury this might come.
But we didn't believe. We never believe.
It can't happen. The Ruskies aren't dumb.
We'll never perceive that we'll ever grieve.

Mid-Summer Sunrise. Stonehenge Bc, Before Covid.

An abandoned lover learns his fate.
Drowns all sorrows at the Winnie Gate.
But don't hate mate, the chance is great.
This magic night you'll get a date.
