Poem

Won’t you join our Common Market?’ said the spider to the fly,
‘It really is a winner and the cost is not too high’
‘I know De Gaulle said ’’ Non’’, but he hadn’t got a clue,
‘We want you in, my friends and I, for we have plans for you.
‘You’ll have to pay a little more than we do, just for now,
‘As Herr Kohl said, and I agree, we need a new milch cow,
‘It’s just a continental term, believe me , mon ami,
‘Like ‘’Vive la France’’ or ‘’Mad Anglais’’ or even ‘’E.E.C.’’.
‘As to the rules, don’t worry friend, there’s really but a few
‘You’ll find that we ignore them - but they all apply to you.
‘Give and share between us, that’s what it’s all about,
‘You do all the giving, and we all share it out.
‘It’s very British, is it not, to help a friend in need?
‘You’ve done it twice in two World Wars, a fact we must concede,
‘So climb aboard the Market Train, don’t sit there on the side,
‘Your continental cousins want to take you for a ride’

Wow, googled that and the first return was from a white supremacist site: https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t136897/

It also makes the UK out to be a fly ...

I googled it, and the first hit was Facebook.

I came acorss a site called newsfix,
and got straight away stuck into the mix.
It was run by a texan called ben,
Who always waffled like a hen

Its a leftist leaning run site,
where they promise you they do not bite,
but when you state you are a brit,
They treat you like you are a nitwit.

There is posters from all walks of life,
kind of like having a second wife,
but with no sex at all,
just the constant bitching and billy bull.

Its still fun I tell you,
Almost daily people tune in to view,
Grown adults act like babies all the time
Maybe Ben should start charging entry at a dime.

But through all the anger passion and frustration,
To the point of many near breaking,
Where we view some to be complete bores,
We still keep coming back for more
