Gathered Here
We are gathered here waiting
Waiting our ship to come in
Board by numbers given us
Sevens or twos some families
When our ship comes, mask and board
I have been chosen, our King
King Elected, Tiger king
Lion king not selected
Where we'll sail, that we don't know
Trust in Provence we are told
Or be like doubting Lion
And left behind, do not sail
Drink up drink up while we can
Our next meal is on the ship

ReplyDeleteA wonderful write Jim! A new favorite for me of yours!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a mystery cruise. A clever approach, Jim.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love that last line and all it implies!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...not sure but perhaps the Lion trusted his gut.
ReplyDeleteNext meal is on the ship! Terrific.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Hope the tigers find a good place at journey's end.

Relevant to current situation. Many are surviving for the day. Nothing is assured at the next venue though expectations are rife!

Ha - and the next meal might be another passengers demise.
ReplyDelete"next meal on the ship" - what could it mean for the animals and crew? Good one, Jim!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and foreboding.
