Hello stranger; hope you enjoyed the opening act
Though there simply was no way to come through intact.
Disdain is the name of our game

Of composing any _____ verse
{ & U could always do worse }

The Mælstrom comes and might find thine art shallow.
Reconsider these terms and fly swift as a swallow!
