Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
The Royal Banquet approaches with splendor and cheer,
Yet hark! The time for reserving thy seat draws near!
But three days remain, good subjects, take heed,
To secure thy invite with utmost speed!
When February's twenty-eighth doth come to pass,
The gates to ticket sales shall close— alas!
