I wrote this poem too late to enter it in the Revel. For those who are curious, the events never actually happened, but they could have. Personally, I think they should happen more often.

Structurally, the poem is fairly simple. One thing that should not be unexpected is my use of an ABCB rhyme scheme. I did one thing a little different here. Count syllables: the first and third lines of each verse have eight, four of my usual iambic feet, while the second and fourth have six.
