Brexit Sonnet No. 148 – ‘A Backstop That Doth Suit’

​

I’ve finally found a backstop that doth suit me,
It’s made to measure, and fits me like a glove.
This piece of law, a legal guarantee
Was passed by one - and that we have to love!
‘No Deal’ lost its day, that’s all it took.
So if ‘No Deal’ on cliff edge do we spy,
This ‘No Deal’ leave, we’ll have to overlook,
And our luck with proper extension must we try.
So Cooper Letwin, take a modest bow.
This disaster movie you’ve now stopped.
I less now mop my fevered Brexit brow,
For ‘No Deal’ choice has just been dropped.
Oh, and while you’re at it Jeremy mate,
One Confirming Vote please now create!
