Migrants to be Sent to Rwanda Limerick

With the UK government contemplating sending migrants to Rwanda if they make the Channel crossing, I wrote the limerick below:

​I thought there could be nothing grander
than to visit UK for a gander.
But Border Force say
I’ve got no right to stay,
so instead I’ll be seeing Rwanda.

Although the limerick is satirical, I must say the idea of sending migrants on to Rwanda is rather cruel, especially considering many of those migrants choose the UK because they speak some English and Rwanda is a Francophile country.
