You’ve told us lots of times “it’s do or die”
For you, this Brexit thing, so if the “do”
Bit doesn’t work, however hard you try,
Then don’t despair: there’s always Option Two.

Prevaricate, and bluster, but if you
Seek one good deed to be remembered by
Then it’s that second choice you'll carry through.
