And A Happy New Year

'O bless the freedom that you never chose...' - Auden

It is a day, just like any other,
only we cannot speak of the weather
with any certainty. We're sold a pup,
that much is sure; and, as for giving up,

we need to look at the options again.
It's not the same as original sin

since Article 50 can be revoked.
Such an action would be hardly bespoke

since the EU's the Garden of Eden
about as much as we measure freedom.

One thing is crystal: we're set on a course
that everyone agrees will make things worse.

So pull the plug and get rid of this plan.
Cut your losses and be clear where you stand.
