Multi faceted, rule loving, French farcical et al
These strings of trade assemblage that the Germans really pull
How Remoaners yearn still for the inner party
Yet our Britishness is so wrong for 'La Fraternity'.
We need to acquire some continental ways
Shout loudly at waiters to feel more Francais
Sit out on pavements and act as if abroad
Drink tiny cups of coffee and look slightly bored
Pout the lips, wear a beret, sport a stripy tee shirt
Draw heavily on a Gauloise and pretend it doesn't hurt
Grow a very thin moustache without fear or favour
Eat garlic raw and enjoy the flavour
Wear leather shorts that chafe and bind
Drink Absinthe all night without going blind
Play boule on Sundays, the French do it best
Sit out in the sun and wear a string vest
Don't shave for days or comb your hair
Wake in the morning like a bad tempered bear
Europeans call it character or even style
Something that Brits avoid by a mile
Until we change we will never fit in
Spoiling Remoaners big dreams could be the ultimate sin
If they aspire to be in Europe's fast lane
Then shouldn't they move to a house by the Seine?

You forgot to mention that we need to learn speak at the top of our voices and try to out-shout everyone else in the restaurant . Otherwise, tongue in cheek, spot on.
Very good write, very true.
