We take our leave once more
Amidst the lashing rain
And return our borrowed vessel
To the myth from whence it came
As I glanced behind a final time
Aella turned to me to say
“What a wondrous home it was
For however brief a stay”
I had no choice but to agree
And give a wistful sigh
Before remarking that
“Of course this isn’t just goodbye”
We would like to give you all our thanks
In a form more tangible this time
For your companionship on this venture
And for bearing through this dreadful rhyme
We hope you’ll follow us into the arms
Of our familiar storm-laced sea
Where our beloved Maelstrom awaits the end
Of this not-so-epic odyssey
Your Whirly-Girls,

it wasn’t a dreadful rhyme. And I’m glad to see you back at the Maelstrom
