The British Revolution     

 Thick fog was falling slowly on Big Ben

one very cold November night at ten,

   and Parliament – still standing tall and proud –

was vanishing behind a watery shroud.

A spooky stillness hovered in the air

    and filled the dimly lit, deserted square.  

 

. . .  

the honourable members of this House

had once again relapsed into a drowse,

when suddenly a bunch of eager whips

  appeared with vulgar phrases on their lips.

 

. . .

They kept the House of Commons on its course 

to bring the Maastricht Treaty into force.

 

. . .

 

The Queen, Prince Charles, Prince Philip and Queen Mum

and other royal VIPs had come

to join the honest people of this land

     that soon this Euro-nonsense should be banned!  

. . .
