They listened! They listened! I can't believe it!
(Though Wednesday I couldn't conceive it).
The people spoke and they were heard,
(And I thought that likelihood was absurd!)
Shall I allow myself to become optimistic?
(Though my good sense cautions me to resist it).
But the hallowed ones let us have our way,
So I think I'll relax and enjoy today.
