magnum est res tacere

Longs centuries, the Brits loved what they've had
content to cite tradition, day by day.
Still, written constitutions ain't so bad
if they'd but deign to try the Yankees' way.
The haystack-headed clown of Downing Street
runs roughshod over Opposition faint.
His code of conduct's grossly incomplete
reliant on his fictive self-restraint.
But in the crisis, wise heads ought to pause.
What court dares intercede where there's no crime?
"great cases" we're reminded "make bad laws"
Yet innovation's urgent at this time.
should Britain--by great luck--survive this clown
the cure for such an ill's worth writing down.
