Brexit Sonnet No. 82 – ‘A Brexit Answer’

Why are those summer hols so very long?
Children burn those summer days so slow.
Well the reasoning here is O so strong,
To bring our harvest home, our fields to mow!
So a Brexit answer now stares us in the face,
As hols re-geared to weather yet again.
Our kids let out in vacant harvest space,
No migrant harvest workforce need we retain.
I note that erstwhile Ed Sec from Surrey Heath,
Did not to school year make a reasoned change.
Slightly odd, but he must have had belief,
That kids on hols over harvest fields would range.
So prisoners and school kids shout a loud hooray,
Your time has come, just greet that Brexit day.
