Baa Baa Maritime Sheep - one week to go

Baa baa Brexit sheep,
Just one week to go?
No Sir, no Sir, that's not so.
We might now leave in April,
We might now leave in May,
Or our exit could take longer. . .
Who on earth's to say?

So baa baa maritime sheep,
Is your book affected?
No, the date is as expected.
Leaving Europe is shambolic
And a complicated mess,
But the book is still on schedule,
And has gone to press.

Britannia's Glory - A Maritime Story will be published next Friday 29th March 2019:

Of what are you afraid?

Due to coincide.

Baa Baa Brexit Sheep - 4 weeks to go

Baa baa Brexit sheep,
Only four weeks more!
Feel confused and quite unsure.
We're facing isolation,
And our future isn't known,
But it wouldn't be the first time
That we've stood alone.

Let me introduce you to Baa Baa Maritime Sheep. (S)he is going to be taking over from me next week, with some news to share. M x

Baa Baa Brexit Sheep - 5 weeks to go

Tell me what you think.
We and Europe aren't in sync.
France is after fishing rights.
The Spanish want "their" rock...
And free movement's the agenda
Of the Eastern bloc.

Under UNCLOS (The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea), island nations remain entitled to an EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) not exceeding 200 nautical miles. Britain is an island nation:

Baa Baa Brexit Sheep - 6 weeks to go

Baa baa Brexit sheep
Where is Mrs May?
In hot pursuit, Sir, of Plan A.
That this isn't really working
Is plain for all to see.
So what is going to happen
When there's no Plan B?

I think I'll return as a tortoise

I think I'll return as a tortoise,
And carry my home on my back.
I could move to wherever I wanted,
Without ever needing to pack.

I think I'll return as a tortoise.
Shunning workouts would be no disgrace.
No more rushing around in a frenzy:
Simply life at a leisurely pace.

I think I'll return as a tortoise.
These creatures sure know a good thing.
They fall fast asleep in the autumn,
And don't re-emerge until spring.

Baa Baa Brexit Sheep - 7 weeks to go

Baa baa Brexit sheep
Tell me how you feel.
Worried, Sir, there'll be no deal.
The British are divided,
The issues all seem fudged:
And, despite our PM's efforts,
Europe hasn't budged.
