Brexit Sonnet No. 40 – ‘Country v Party’

So what’s the choice with PM’s Brexit things?
On one side party stands and makes its claims,
On other, country pulls rich encoded strings,
Whilst others, waiting, fan the vicious flames.
A hopeless cause, St Jude must wryly smile
And stifle secret chuckle at mounting gloom.
Are Country left to rot on poisoned pile
Whilst party, its new and old adherents groom.
To destroy her Party, this could never be,
So hold tight, lifeboats on their davits swing,
Made ready for the rich and taxéd free,
As Country sinks below these waves of sin.
Country v Party, an uneven useless bout,
Renew, Remain and wipe these Maybugs out.
