Surprise

Now a wonderful thing has happened—
It is indeed a pleasing phenomenon—
Come, coadjutor, abandon the newspaper,
Come, Michael, come—for shall you not witness,
Though in our emotion you may not participate?
Come, come, this charming occasion to celebrate—
Omi-Kin-Kan is wearing white blossoms—eleven!
