Déjà Bienvenue
Dear Editor, I'm overjoyed to know
You like what I sent in four years ago.
I worried that you'd find my poem dated.
But you have welcomed it, so I'm elated ...

However, with respect, I disagree
With your acceptance of my threnody
For next month's issue, since—I mean no cheek—
You published it two years ago last week!
