The Convention of Imagine Nation

ā€œHello Ms. Perception….ā€

ā€œWell – Good morning Mister E.!ā€

ā€œAre you here for the reception?ā€

ā€œThe retirement of Harry C.?ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œI just arrived this morning —

In Curios City —

Say hello to my companion –

One Durr accompanied me.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œLook — there’s Rev. L. Ayshun!

With her colleague E. Piphany.

They’re gazing out the window –

Beside Sir Tontee.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œWhat’s all that commotion?ā€

ā€œIt’s Anne Sur making another fussā€ –

— another debate with Mean Ing,

Trying to explain Purr Puss.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œHere comes the entourage of Czar O…

With Lone Lee and A. Lone.

Followed by the Core Wrecked

Jabbering on the phone.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œIn the corner there’s B. Fuddled —

With the twins called Pair A Lies.

Ms. Trust is to their left,

Next to Woon Dead & Real Eyes.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œHere come the rabble rousers –

Led by Alien Nate.

Dee Spair is his constant companion –

Surrounded by Igor Ance and Hate.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œThere’s ol’ Pa Sibble —

The father of opportunity.

He’s seated next to M. Possible –

Behind Abe Bility.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€œBrrr…here come the cold one’s –

Snickering like devious mice.

The mother of prejudice and injustice.

She’s referred to as Mal Ice.ā€

Ā 

Ā ā€˜Here comes a group it’s great to see —

There’s N. Courage and A. Door.

Walking down the aisle with Hope –

Under the auspices of X. Plore.ā€

Ā 

Ā Walking under the balcony of Know Ledge

We hear the buzz of Bee Neath and Bee Low.

ā€œWe’re on our way to visit Bee Leaf —

To see the foliage before the snow.ā€

Ā 

Ā What we thought we knew before,

Will not be here this year.

Time has seen to displace them,

Along with reticence and fear.

Ā 

Ā Attitudes, knowledge, emotions and values —

Characters created for modification.

Assemble each and every year —

At the convention of Imagine Nation.
