Brexit Re-Mint

 

We've had to do a re-mint

Of new 50p coins

We got the Brexit date wrong

Of our EU un-join

 

Old mint 31 Oct – new mint now 31 Jan

Queen thought not good image otherwise.

People will think Brits don't know what they're doing

 

The Queen has ruled let's do it

Let's show the world we know

Precisely what we're doing here

Britannia here we go

 

 

What? Boris is on the reverse?....

 

Shit! quick, do a re-mint...before the media finds out......

 

We at the Royal Mint are top-knotch minters.

Attention to detail is our motto.....

The 'problem' is that I read the paper every day and Boris keeps continually popping up. It is the most interesting ways he pops up that stimulates Thalia and I into poetic action. A serious leader being fodder for our WOL contributions..... Funny 'bout that. Trump also. Funny 'bout that also.....Like two Ronnies across the lake ...

I read headlines in one of your papers 'Boris will get Brexit done in a week'. I looked everywhere but couldn't see which year they were meaning.......

If we could only get our hands on that coin with initial leave date it would be worth a pretty penny! I must say I'm impressed with how you are keeping up with our current affairs Don!

A little "proof reading" to get things rights shouldn't be confined to poetry or politics.
I have just acquired a DVD of a film starring, among other bright
names of Hollywood's past, Donald O'Connor. Remember his great
turn in "Singing in the Rain"? Well, on the cover, his name above the
title is "Donald O'Connel"!. If he were alive now, he would be justifiably miffed! ?

You've given me a problem
Boris dear, oh dear
Get your act together boy
Get yourself in gear

Australians think you silly twits
You once did rule the waves
But now you can't get Brexit right
Come Boris behave

Rule Britannia.....Rule..Bri..Rul....

glug...glug....
