It’s wonderful to listen to a view that’s well expressed
Convincingly with elegance a hand upon the breast
The confidence of eloquence the thumbs inside the vest
Or waving swords of truth the shield of valour and the rest

Impeccably grammatical with clarity of thought
Yes logical and lyrical and flowing as it ought
Besides the crystal diction there are sounds that can’t be taught
Of thinking being harnessed and attention being caught

The content could be nonsense or just slightly subtly wrong
Informed by Harry Potter books or operatic song
As long as no-one tries to make the sentences too long
We’d have to say this argument is jolly blinking strong

Or rather we are minded to concur the case is clear
No need for further evidence we heard it over here
Entranced and deeply moved it isn’t done to clap and cheer
Each member of the audience just sheds a little tear

These Brexit vote debates demand we be not quite so dense
As to be swayed by legal words like heretofore and hence
We beg to ask the Speaker pray be seated on the fence
And bring the bastard benchers to the House of Common Sense
