Panic Buyers

 

Panic Buyers

 

Lack of foreign haulage

Coming to our shores

Leading to a shortage

In supermarket stores

Migrant workers exit

Crops are left to rot

Many blaming Brexit

As many saying not

 

On Facebook and Twitter

Keyboard warriors jeer

Typing comments bitter

Recalling project fear

Counterparts retweeting

Eagerly engage

Stubbornly repeating

An opposite front page

 

Blamers pointing fingers

Lefties refugees

National anthem singers

Liberal families

Followers of Farage

Racist residual

Queuing at the garage

Panic buying fuel

 

Meanwhile at the pigsty

The farmer ponders fate

After when the pigs die

Sell on? Incinerate?

Though butchery’s faltered

Nigh grinding to a halt

Pigs must still be slaughtered

By way of captive bolt

 

As ignorance is thirst

The parched and dying beg

Not knowing what comes first

The chicken or the egg

For they are helpless too

Dependent on such powers

With mills to drag them through

Like slaughtered boars and sows
