C'est la Vie!


Publius

Recommended Posts

[!] Anticipation was palpable after the contentious mayoral elections of Providence - with it taking months before they were conceded at a meeting of the Commonwealth Club. In circulation though would go a poem, to put to writing and settle the issue. Should you secure a copy, it'd read as follows! [!]

Consider this thanks to you from me,

Our task was as arduous as one could be,

But we must move on and say “c’est la vie!”

 

We have created a space to wag your chin,

Tell me - do you believe in fate or fortune?

 

For if this was fated then who’d really mind,

Many dig deeper, hoping for the next great find,

They writhe and tary in a silly bind!

 

From here we venture forth as the source,

Together we have become a force,

Akin to a meandering river that determines the course.

 

Good friends, allow me a confession,

This poem simply details my concession.

 

Allow this one issue to rest,

For few thoughts are needed to have guessed,

These sorts of beginnings often herald Oren’s best!

 

(That being you, my comrades. Chin-chin!)

 

Humbly yours,

Ciprian de la Baltas
