The Imperial Cruise

Cocksure cries from the gunners’ bowels,

Cahoots!! They’re in cahoots!!!

Screams the captain from beneath his faded covers,

The acquiescence of certain arguments is inevitable

Sagan had it right in 62,

And in 67,

And in 73.

Our new religion, acidity.

  1. He's right you know. It is inevitable.

  2. addendum: Sagan had it right first in 61. One year off. Poetic license? Discuss.

  3. It took the public a little over a year to finally come to an agreement and decide in a majority that Sagan was indeed right, therefore, seeing as this piece reflects conformity and general stereotypes based on crude interpretations of sophisticated and worldly men, it is only appropriate that the exact date of Sagan's correctness is, ironically, 1962 instead of 1961.
