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
