Brexit Sonnet No. 156 – ‘I voted Tory, Keep Quiet – Not a sound!’

Oh hurrah! I’ve crossed my little box!
It’ll all get done and I can let it go.
I can breathe again and with no more shocks,
No threat to life from JC’s far left show.
And there’s more besides – I’ll pay less tax
And won’t be needing to make that vote again.
For ten years now I’ll switch off, just relax
And discount those who think not quite the same.
I’ll up the BUPA subs by just a bit,
I’ll do a little good with foodbank gifts.
I’ll say goodbye to those who do not fit,
And celebrate with bluebirds atop our cliffs.
But breath not a word to those around,
I voted Tory, keep quiet – not a sound!
