...I'm taking the Underground,
with a bottle of water,
down to Oxford Circus,
sitting next to a redudant Taxi Driver...

     "it was Brexit
      that cost me my job"
he whispers
     "no tourists,
      so my business was over"

I'm taking the Underground,
with my suitcase and camera,
sitting by the window,
looking out for my stop
at Lankaster Gate.
A woman is asking me for money,
I give her a Euro.
She seems happy.

     "thank you, my good Sir"
she says with no irony,
holding her treasure,
     "since Brexit
      the Pound has fallen lower
      than my knickers did, ever"

We both laugh
abd I give her my number.
Maybe we'll go out,
maybe we'll have dinner.

I am taking the Underground
to the British Museum.
There isn't much left.
They've sold it all to cover their debts.
The Marbles are back to where they belong,
in the beautiful museum, by the Parthenon.

I think of that woman and the driver.
Her knickers won't drop any lower
and his driving days are over.

Ignorance and laziness to check the facts...
This is how Tess, Nigel and Boris
got the country f***ed.

Nice one Dave !
