Rhyme For Our Time

The English Channel’s ahead

So while there are dinghies,

Great Britain, and plenty of ready finance, We’re on our way there from France.

Now that the gendarmes have fled

And Mister Macron has asked for more

And while we still have the chance.

We’re on the way there from France.

Soon, we’ll be in a hotel room, Humming a cheerful tune, And then…

The British Navy have helped

While there’s no orders, or borders,

In this strangely odd circumstance, We’re on our way there from France.

We’re on our way there from France, France, Let’s play some music and dance!
