Sail To a Deal

Britain sets sail to find a deal. A lengthy voyage now starts. The captain plots the way ahead with complex EU charts from the Maritime Directive in all its ninety parts. Oh what a frightful sea to sail to reach the land called Brexit Deal. They cast off in a steady breeze; the crew are well rehearsed. But soon a storm is getting up and brings a mighty gust. The mainsail now has been ripped free and flaps around the mast. Oh what a frightful sea to sail to reach the land called Brexit Deal. And then with further buffeting the rudder starts to fail. A calm follows; they do repairs. Now fixed they can set sail. The ship and crew ready to go but now stuck in a lull. Oh what a frightful sea to sail to reach the land called Brexit Deal. Next day there comes a steady breeze which clears them from doldrums. And now they start to speed along as then a trade wind comes. With these changes the captain must recalculate the sums. Oh what a frightful sea to sail to reach the land called Brexit Deal.
