forgive us,
but we’ve become members
with their embers. we are
also in cahoots with the grass
-roots efforts of faeries, and
flowers. we now spend hours
and hours scheming with that
sky and her conniving moon.
all this cons
-piracy has caused us to
paint our sails with skulls
and collaborate with claws
and cabal’d stones. collusion’s
where it’s at with the Cheshire
cat, and we’re laying
(drink me)
plans for future thrones.
there’s a significant reason
for all this treasured treason;
all this aiding and abetting
makes sure no one can pur
-loin us.
these playful ploys move fast, so
the heartbeat quickens.
hey, if you’re the consort
-ing sort, you can join us.
(the plot thickens.)
