Brexit Sonnet No. 96 – ‘This Stinking Rotten Deal’

Just a list of deep despairing damage,
Just some gone or going or in distress.
Mini and Rolls and Royce both Beemer managed,
Investments in our motowns, quite a mess.
Nurses leave never to return,
Midwives much the same, numbers shed.
Doctors Brexit exodus now we learn,
EMA bound for Holland now instead.
Erasmus and Galileo wave goodbye,
Arresting Euro Warrant not for us,
Youthful classic artists from London fly,
Tax avoidance avoided with little fuss.
This rotting fruit that can’t be picked by hand,
This stinking rotten deal in Brexitland.
