‘In’ says Corbyn
as does Blair,
but ‘out’ says Boris,
flicking hair.
‘In’ says Cameron
so does Major.
‘In’ says Brown –
there goes my wager.
‘In’ says Hezza
so does Clarke.
Two trusted stalwarts
make their mark.
‘In’ says Obama
nervous but brave.
‘Out’ says Thatcher
from the grave.
‘In’ says Osborne
with little material clout.
‘Out’ maybe The Queen
though there is doubt.
‘In’ says Teresa
but only just,
whilst Mrs Merkel
says ‘In’ – a must.
‘In’ says Cleggy
and Farron too.
Trump says ‘Out’
his point of view.
‘In’ on some days,
then ‘out’ makes sense.
My bum so sore
sitting on the fence.
‘In’ says Sturgeon
and Lagarde.
No opinion yet
from Stratford’s Bard.
‘In’ says Soames
but ‘Out’ Lord Owen.
Who knows which way
this thing is going?
‘Out’ says Gove
and Lawson too,
and for JCB –
a Brexit view.
So much to weigh up
So much brain strain,
but a wasted vote
if I abstain.
‘In’ says Abbott
and ‘Out’ Portillo –
a friendly fight due
with a political pillow.
‘In’ says Jaguar
and Land Rover.
I’ll be so glad
when voting over.
‘In’ say The Kinnocks
through family ties,
which kind of comes
as no surprise.
‘In’ says Mandelson.
‘Out’ says Rees-Mogg
The answer clear
as pea-soup fog.
‘Out’ says Putin –
Europe’s backbone gone.
Lord Archer relaxed,
another Best Seller, No. 1
‘In’ say those
you wouldn’t think!
I’m so confused
I’ll turn to drink.
‘Out’ says Farage
with pint in hand.
‘Out’ says Whittingdale,
‘making a stand’.
But If ‘Out’ is do-able,
how long the wait
before progress seen?
is the main debate
Little clues from Dimbleby,
or ‘This Week’s’ Neil,
though Molly’s advice
my vote would seal.
So many undeclared
we can’t lean upon.
Impartial too has to be,
The Speaker – John
That man of letters, Johnson –
the campaign leader of ‘In’,
whilst IDS a firm ‘Outer’
shaking loud the tin.
And ‘Out’ forever
has been Bill Cash,
but Prescott’s ‘In’
with fists that bash.
‘In’ says Ashdown
and ‘In’ says Steel
so too Baroness Williams
I strongly feel.
Some say voting ‘In’ would fix
what isn’t yet broken?
Whilst voting ‘Out’ – a verbal minefield,
as yet unspoken?
‘In’ says Richard Branson,
‘In’ says Karren Brady
Respect, both for him
and this wise business Lady.
And If such proven leaders
(who know more than we)
are saying we must stay –
it’s making sense to me!
Whilst Brexit sounds OK in theory,
too many mavericks would be in charge,
and if it all went ‘belly up’
we’d be exposed to the world at large?
So ‘Yippee’ – what a sweetener,
to have Lord Sugar close at hand.
Some sense, at last on offer,
to help us clearly understand,
as the right cross indeed is vital –
we all must have our say,
and now someone we believe in
might finally save the day.
