And now…this amazing News Bulletin from The Daily Triumph:
Lord and Lady Arrogance are dead, the coroner’s office reports, citing cause of death as living up to their titles. The deceased were the disdainful parents of a son, Insolence, and a daughter, Vanity. Public graveside services will be held down by the riverside at sunset tonight.
Then out of the mud of the thundering moment
the crowd came alive to the call!
The flag had been flung, the scene-marker clapped;
it was Start Racing Forward and Action for All.
We may not delay for even an instant;
the world’s lifelong wailing has got to be heard!
