Have you heard the news? There’s a new Postman in town, and a new Fairie Queen in the court. I hear the Postman keeps bringing her big palettes of wood, and she’s using it to build some sort of cat tower. I hear she’s sending her entourage to business school, and he’s got to carry her letters of recommendation. I hear war is coming, but don’t worry, we’re safe here on our island court in the fog. I hear we’ll always be safe here.
