Brexit Sonnet 28 - Walketh Not With John
Brexit Sonnet No. 28
‘Walketh Not With John’
Grave concerns arise in Worcester's crypt,
Bad King John and Arthur, Prince of Wales
Lie, by hand of history firmly gripped;
Two adjacent souls telling diverse tales.
One a king despite his sibling’s fame,
Magna Carta his reluctant final gift.
The other died unknown, no crown to claim,
His Spanish Bride, a pawn in later rift.
Let not Brexit have a John like fate,
But write a happy close for Arthur’s tale.
Europe bound by marriage to this our state,
No second son, his covetous boat to sail.
So let not youthful Arthur die again,
-Walketh not with John, but with us, Remain.
