EVENTUALLY

EVENTUALLY

We eventually
invited you
to our party

felt
we had to
      eventually

and lo
   and behold:

eventually
you came: pitched up
in the last of
your great ships, now
an
   old just bucket
barely held together
in need
   of patching

patching holes pretty much
the theme of the day
theme
    of the new
decade

hopefully into the next
century

saw you
     at the party behaving

pretty much, well almost,
like homo sapiens

was not
       always so

state of the ship such
                     a revelation
Oh

    how we partied

sight
for sore eyes.

We invited you to our party.

You came, eventually.

Truth be told, though you
may well choose not to believe us

we always

      kept your seat
at the table,
           take your right place
