To Three Young Men

You did fall out of the sky my dears, you did.

Before pelicans or men,
before dense matter congregated,
energy roamed this universe
and you were there my dears,
in the making.

But now to matters
of DO'S and Don'ts
and your perennial When I'm Ready!

Don't rattle my grumpy frame
with such concerns;
there are better things to do.

Soon we'll be out
beyond the sky again,
and there
there will be no excuses.
