A slow clap is a tricky thing,
Nationality depending,
There it means congratulations,
Here its ruder than flatulations,
Get it wrong and its sure to sting.
Whether it does with cheer ring,
Or the pain of sarcasm bring,
You should temper your expectations,
Of a slow clap.
So when you to your hopes cling,
That your performance did take wing,
Be careful of your foundations,
And wary of hidden frustrations,
Question what you're receiving,
If its a slow clap.
And to everyone who voted to leave the EU. A slow clap. From a Brit.
