“EU 3029

The year is 3029. It is the time for the UK leader to attend the EU council and ask for an extension... no one knows how this Tradition started but rumours and myths are rife that this was cyber related involving a bot called May, a red London bus and Boris the Spider.”

April 10th 3019

It’s the year of our lord; 3019

And the time has come around once again

For the UK leader to stand serene

Before the council and beg to remain

An EU member for a while longer,

A plea for an extension if you will;

More time to come up with something stronger

Than the mythical so-called Brexit deal.

No one knows how this tradition began;

Legend has it as cyber related,

A bot called May who could dance the cancan

A clown called Boris, a kipper fêted,

A red London bus, a populace willed,

A unicorn and a pledge unfulfilled.
