Corrupt mega-state! Come on!
Let's haemorrhage cash! Come on!

Labour does not want to see or hear,
What the electorate made only too clear.
Come on, agree to hand over to Schroeder and to Chirac,
Sorry, electorate - there ain't no way back!

Come on! Collaborate!

Amalgamation!
Let's create a big Belgo-Gallic-Teutonic state!
Cede to one ethnological agglomeration!
Governed by Belgian bootboys - I can't wait!

It's time to merge together,
No more to Great Britain sovereignty, ever.
Everybody, each sign away! Come on!

More committees and litigation...
- Sign here on the dotted line, I'll be on the T.E.E. gravy train.
Boost the other greedy, receiving nations,
Lose subsidies...billions go down the drain!
(They're all at it, believe you me!)

Conglomeration!
All toe the line! Obey! Capitulate!
Get to be a great big Neo-nation!
Else be categorically obsolete! Integrate!

Choose me! Elect me too! Elect me to be Euro President!

A real melee! Mega egos! Hot air! Lame rhetoric! Legalese babble!
Arse-to-elbow blather! Sheer bloody cobblers!

Good-to-eat creamy garlic-breath cheese! Eat Greasy amphibian legs!
Bittersweet chocolate! Mellow Edam cheese! Delectable
beetroot-red sweet cabbage! Cremated lamb! Higher-alcohol beer!

Legal bordellos? Oh, cool! Let's agree to go Dutch!

Below is a Shakespeare sonnet anagrammed into a loose paraphrase poem, but there is also an unusual constraint.

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 19

Devouring Time blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood,
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix, in her blood,
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt swift-footed Time
To the wide world and all her fading sweets:
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime,
O carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen,
Him in thy course untainted do allow,
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.

How Age Is Now But Vanished

Damn stubborn years! Ah, melt the weighted glaciers,
And let in waters to the empty wells;
Do Oxlips in, as colour leaves void Nature,
And end bird's tweets that rang like tiny bells;
Evoke Woe, and her vying kin Hope cover,
Hand men their bliss and take them through Hell, too;
But team no hints of age on my new lover,
And if you do - as I instruct, undo,
For these corrode my worthy kindred spirit,
Therefore these tempt one quite unsound ordeal...
Yet - ah, sweet thing! - the Form won't finish wearied:
While it would not be match for Tempus' wheels,
They won't cause Love to jade, omit no lure,
For in my *words* there's view of her, still pure.
