That would be good!
Oh, I can't resist .. I'll write an epilogue.
And the High Priestess, in moribund mood, went forth into the wilderness and wandered for forty days and forty nights ... for peace, and for respite from her critics.
Where friendless and in need of a hug , she chanced upon two strangers, who proffered advice and at first she shunned them and turned away with cloth in her ears, as once bitten and thus embittered so twice shy, she had no want to hear false promises of success and a increased majority from false allies and friends.
Saith one, a handsome chap, ... as she turned away ... 'Go not to the Tower of Babel where 27 languages are babbled for the exit fee is 100 billion fishes. Do not enter for there is no exit. Marks my words, and call me Alexander the Great .. and remember the Gordian Knot.'
She faltered, hesitant .. pausing to listen, ducking in alarm as a swarm of locusts flew over her head in perfect formation on their way to Great Britain.
'Hurry .. the end is nigh' urged the man's companion, his handsomeness marred by the knife sticking out of his back and the stab wounds to his body but which did nothing to detract from his comely legs and rather sexy toga. 'Remember the wise words of Julius Caesar and beware the Ides of March!'
Now truly alarmed the High Priestess wrapped her sack cloth around her and ran .. and ran .. until she came to a jetty and a ramp. Which led to a big wooden boat. Where a stream of refugees walked in pairs, two by two, to board and gain safety and the land of milk and honey..
Except ... she was but one. Not two.
Desperate for a partner she cast around her. Spotted a woman she recognised! Arlene Foster wearing a sandwich board stencilled with the prophecy, DUP Rules . But Arlene turned her face away, as to couple with another woman was anathema... and same sex union was sin.
And that is when the High Priestess knew she was doomed .. for at the top of the ramp, about to enter the ark was Jeremy Corbyn, with one comradely arm around Noah and the other around Dianne Abbot.
