To Rack and Ruin?

More Brussels summits rise and fall;
Sometimes I think that less is more ...
An acronym takes wing – absurd
BREXIT - now a full-blown word!

With «post Troubles» should May* fiddle?
Is the Irish border a mere quibble?
«Remainers» won't lie down and die
So is the whole thing «pie-in-sky»?

What of generations yet unborn -
Will they see this as media storm?
Customs clearance, queues at ports
Work permits, visas of all sorts...

If we take the long view – down the track
Will Brits still be on the rack?
The future wreathed in mists and smoke:
May* wants a BREXIT that's «bespoke»!
