Brexit Sonnet No. 120 – ‘New Year Fireworks’

 

Thank you Euro friendly London Mayor,

For New Year fireworks upon our River Thames.

Your theme; how very apt and very fair.

Let's hope this New Year joy to all extends.

These fireworks just precede some more to come,

Sorry to say the coming year's not kind,

Nor happy, nor settled and when all is said and done,

Our blooming future could be hard to find.

So ohh and ahh at Sadiq’ s shooting stars

Celebrate that European spark,

Surround our lives with love, not prison bars,

Without these lights, our future’s awful dark.

Our blue touch paper - lit this coming year

Will set our fireworks fizzing, have no fear.
