Will you be respectable down at the spectacle
once the event has begun?
When do you plan to have fun?
How long does a show like that run?
Will you be elegant at the extravagance
after the champagne is gone?
What will be left to build on?
Who will survive to the dawn?
Will you be delirious at the experience
before you slow yourself down?
Are you a serious clown?
What good is that much renown?
Will you be the piety for notoriety
until their next ship comes in?
What are you hoping to win?
You only get that one spin.
