Britain, right now, is a little bit shit
And most of the news is so grim
But people of humour do relish their wit
And relieve themselves quipping on things
They’re clever and silly with memes and fresh banter
So wry in contempt, it can get rather mean
But just look at the farce of the national cantor
And wonder no more that they’re letting off steam
The Bexiteer Right and the humourless Left
Hate the refuge of weaponised humour
But this is the British way civic life checks
Against rumours and bloomers and tumours
Here’s The Increasingly Batshit Story That Eventually Led To Priti Patel’s Resignation
Is this the night of the living dead? No, it’s Britain’s Brexit team
The joke’s over – how Boris Johnson is damaging Britain’s global stature
If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry…
