Theresa's England ...

I ate carrot cake in the Delfino Lounge - 

A young bearded god bought me my cappuccino - 

I listened to gentle eighties pop - 

The sad town was almost beautiful in the gathering dark - 

Earlier, I'd tried on a pork pie hat - 

I bought a jumper of Merino wool - 

A beggar sang his song in Falkland Square -  

Amazons sold I phones - 

Pensioners on mobility scooters waited for the train to pass - 

The man selling flowers packed away his lurid blooms - 

This was Theresa's England - 

All the numbers here were wrong -
