"That perfection is unobtainable is not an excuse not to strive for it."

This and a story I told were the winning entry for Lyondemere Lyon Bard competition (6/26/21) at the online combined Lyondemere (shell of gold) and Gyldenholt (trees of gold) Anniversary event.
It was written in the 2 hours between the announcement of the required words - Festival, Victorous, The Sea - and the competition.
The plague has been most notorious;
But we have emerged victorious.
The quarantine was long,
And we have emerged strong.
To see our friends is most glorious!
Today is a day of festival;
A day of joy irrepressible.
To see once again
Our new and old friends,
Online family unforgettable!
And so our baronies by the Sea
Do we celebrate today with glee:
For the trees of gold,
And the shell of gold.
And this day is wonderful to see!
