2016

Two sixteen, probably not the best, 

Too many iconic figures laid to rest.

Too many worst nightmares realised;

Voters, like rabbits in car lights, Brexitised,

Thinking a lurch to the right is wise,

"Britain for the British, not for Poles and Eyeties".

52% vote Brexit, all ties are torn;

 it`s goodbye Cameron, and George Osborne.

Mayhem in Downing Street, Boris Foreign Sec.,

 Across the water, it`s neck and neck.

What`s that? Oh no! That can`t be true.

Trump has won - misogynists rule!

The message from the year is clear - 

FDR was wrong - we have everything to fear.

Chicanery and duplicity have won the day; 

no-one believes a word politicians say.

May with her "Jams", and "co-determination". 

Who will believe Trump`s "state of the nation"?

Two seventeen? It`s anyone`s guess.

Le Pen matching Donald Trump`s success?

Anything worse we cannot see, 

unless it`s Blair in charge of a political party!
