Listen to poem:

I Dreamt of a Treaty With Trieste

I dreamt of a treaty with Trieste,
but it was to get my mind off something else -
the Brexit.

In the treaty all would be good,
and I would have hols in Trieste
twice a year.

Do I take my bucket there and spade?
Do they have sand in
the city of Trieste?

Actually, I've just fallen in the sand.
Brexit's come to pass
and Trieste's wishful thinking.
