Hasn't it been woefully quiet  
in these parts of late?

Where have the stories disappeared  
and the poems vanished  
leaving behind an empty slate?

But mischief is brewing quietly  
simmering just beneath the calm facade

Until the time arrives, and we uncover the cauldron  
then the fireworks will explode  
above the marching bands and the carnival floats  
and there will be pink elephants on parade ...
