Brexit Sonnet No. 88 – ‘Avoid a Meltdown’

‘Let’s sub contract, this Brexit how-de-do,
Let’s find someone with guts and time to spare.
Someone with an unbiased worldly view,
Someone who’d prepare with utmost care.
A company voluntary arrangement we may arrange,
Or a PFI we could install.
Some backers, with deep pockets – they’re not so strange,
They’re lining up against our Eton Wall.
Best avoid a meltdown I should say,
We don’t want public panic to take a hold.
So pro bono publico must hold this day,
We know what’s best, by nanny we were told.’
What a farce, this Brexit counterpoint,
Where are the leaders we should now anoint?
