Our ‘Sceptred Isle’ at end-of-tether
Brit
life on the never-never
Mad
scramble to tie up loose ends
Constant
talk of fishy trends!
How
to survive without free trade?
Long
queues in Kent with tempers frayed
Reels
of red tape at the Coast
With
a “No Deal” folks, we’re toast!
Ahead, a bureaucratic maze
As UK-sourced
goods risk delays
Uncertainties
in all fields trending;
The
ins and outs are never ending…
Last
ditch attempts, up to the wire;
The
E.U. stands firm, does not tire
Of
warning what we stand to lose
By
Jan 1st we should have some clues!

Hard to believe we got here
