Brexit Sonnet No. 131 – ‘The Brexit Dimmer Switch’ 
 

Non-return valves in our ports have sprouted,
Look around at Dover and the like.
Control valves at our borders Brexit touted,
Now his promise just takes the blooming mike.
Goods gush in in unrestricted bliss,
And not just goods, we might now observe.
Goods drip out with Brexit’s tariff kiss,
Leave’s control of borders looks quite absurd. 
Another day of transportation fun,
No movement, free or otherwise, do I detect.
Promises broken by the metric tonne, 
And open borders as lorries flow unchecked.
This Brexit is a non-returning game.
Ditch the Brexit dimmer switch – Remain!
