Obviously, too much time on my hands:
They’re coming by train,
They’re coming by plane,
They’re coming by dump truck and backhoe and crane,
They’re coming by pogo,
They’re coming on crutches,
They’re coming in cars that have busted their clutches,
To the City of Thrones and Seraphim-winged,
Of sweet Cherubum with halos un-dinged,
Of Guardian, Arch, of whom we have sing-ed,
To LA they are coming to meet NR’s crew,
Like William F. Buckley and Ramesh Ponnuru,
And Rich, Kate, and KLO,
And Impromptusing JayNo,
You’d be happy with just them – But I am not through!
Smart-alecky Rob Long, yes he’ll be there too!
And there’s still more to tell; let me be more specific:
Jonah will be there aside the Pacific!
So what do you say?
Will you be in LA
To join Bill and the gang at the NR soiree?
To eat fine cuisine, and drink top-shelf booze,
While with NR’s writers you gossip and schmooze?
Will you be at the scene on Nine Seventeen
(that’s the third Saturday of September I mean)?
If you don’t you’ll regret
That you missed the big fete,
So do this right now, before you forget:
Go here for more info, do it sooner than soonest,
And we’ll even throw in Roman Genn, our cartoonist!
