A Limerick A Day

Anti-Brexit Conservative MEP Charles Tannock

Charles Tannock was wont to exhort
His countrymen all to support
The cause of Remain
So to temper his pain
He’s picked up a brand new passport.

“Charles Tannock was wont to exhort”
Ah poetry, you can just throw anything down can’t ya! What an art!

Passport is one thing; a French friend tells me that thousands of British people are seeking a change of nationality to become French citizens.

  If they learn to utter Cúpla Focal like Her Majesty did on a famous occasion, they’ll gratefully be offered Irish citizenship. Professing a belief in fairy forts will win extra brownie points.
