"WE THREE THINGS"
(The third in my Carols for a Brexit Christmas series)
We Three Things your obstacles are
Immigrants you’d like to debar
You also ignored a
Neighbour’s border
Thirdly, your bill so far.
Send them home to Poland today
This is why we voted that way.
Wait a second!
We never reckoned
Treeza would let them stay.
Ignorance we thought to be bliss
“Vote for Leave” not thinking of this.
Who’da thought the
Irish border
Was such an obvious miss?
Then, of course, the most bitter pill
We thought we’d leave – the cost would be Nil.
But obligations
To EU nations
Has incurred such a bill.
No matter, though. The offsetting plus –
The NHS which benefits us
Will get some millions
From these billions.
So says our big red bus.
Oh! Lying Johnson, lying Gove
What a web of lies they wove!
But you! You tit!
You fell for it
You never thought it through, by Jove!

Thast's excellent MC. I stumbled on rhymes for Brexit in my draft attempt and came up with "Cameron legs it", "sausage rolls at Greggs It..." but that was about it. Yours present added dimensions.
