Brexit Sonnet No. 66 – ‘Was it Purely Chance?’

Should I write on the name that’s just be given
To a right royal price now fifth in line?
It’s tempting and I’m resisting being driven,
To talk of Louis at this Brexit time.
I must resist, like our friends in France,
To write some lines that could be viewed as cheap.
But what a name, was it purely chance,
That this royal choice would make dear Brexit weep?
So I will just not pen a line or word,
To mark this very special name of note.
I’ll just pretend I haven’t really heard,
And Remain right here and allow myself to gloat.
I’m so glad that not one line did I jot,
For this has upset our Brexit friends …. A lot!
