19 came out to the Haven wood
Eagerly out to lead their clan
Procrastinating, often they stood
Waiting and waiting as long as they could
Although they had no backup plan
Then came the deadline right on time
And having had no moves turned in
Their units cried to their leader: I'm
Standing here not having been
Given any prelims to direct me.
And so that morning, equally lay
In zones and provinces orders lack
They may sit there for another day
Or get dislodged and sent away
I doubt if they would ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere hours and hours hence:
19 came to play this game, and I--
I warned them all to submit moves by
Their soonest reasonable convenience
Thursday!
