Brexit Sonnet No. 130 - ' This Danegeld Bribe' 
 

“I’ll splash some cash and spread it round about.
Just enough to make them change their vote,
Just enough to sow that seed of doubt,
Just enough my Brexit plan to float.
I’ll shake my tree; you know the one I mean.
The one I keep for dark days such as these,
The one I hide, from public view unseen,
The one I shook for a billion Irish leaves.
It’s just so easy and cuts out hours of talk.
As wallets lead - so hearts and minds do follow,
As protest runs - this slows it to a walk, 
As lies are told - it makes them smooth to swallow.”
Reinforce your barricades, don’t give way. 
This Danegeld bribe - Brexit must not pay.
