Cheers For Fears

Cheers to the first, who will not be last.
Cheers to the thirst for the things of the past.
Cheers to the eminent and the misused,
For things both evident and somehow confused.

Cheers to the forgotten ones who have left,
Though we are not always the ones so bereft.
Cheers to Charisma, elegant, wise;
Cheers to Christina, for strength in disguise.
Cheers to Chanticleer, for chortlesome glee;
Cheers to the Phyllum, for iron and tea.
Cheers to the Steersmen, that group no one knows,
Who never will sit in their former repose.

Huzzah, I say, huzzah! And more huzzahs yet!
And let us be humble, lest we forget.

This is what happens when you do your best:
You drink like a fish and pass out with the rest.
