Brexit Sonnet 33 - No Kaizen Rules

Brexit Sonnet No. 33
‘No Kaizen Rules’
 

No just in time, no Kaizen rules for this,
Our partners fear their European loss.
Their products here, our ill-judged tariffs kiss,
And futures now approach that Brexit cross.
So Civic pride in Swindon now looks bent,
Whilst Makems count their cash from Duke of Note,
And wonder if their future’s up for rent,
As smallest minds construct that savage moat.
Derby’s with them, in topmost managed one,
Avensis, Auris and now its hybrid bred;
Their engines made in Deeside Wales to run.
All this we risk to lie in Brexit’s bed.
   Set not the sun on those that standards set,
   Make ‘em here! This Brexit we’ll regret.
