Apple To Pay Tax Back

The EU Commissioner to do with competition, 
Ruled against Apple’s avoidance of Euro tax,
By homing itself in southern Ireland, evasion, 
Where it doesn’t pay tax in a double Irish fax. 

One ramification of Brexit is that the good EU, 
Will be looking in this divorce proceedings interim, 
At other filters of finance for its adhesive glue,  
At other ways to support its productions and vim. 

The thing is, I expected this rational reflection, 
For some time, since the many shamed the greats, 
When in 2015 Amazon was sought for collection, 
Along with Google and Starbucks, at the gates.
