The Most

Welcome,
Last Resort.
We meet at last,
Plan Z.
I’ve heard a lot about you,
Worst Case Scenario.

I look forward to
working with you,
When-all-else-fails.

It’s going to be you and I now.
Do you feel lucky to end up with me?
Hey, it’s okay.

After the initial shock
wears off,
you too,
will try to make
the most of me.
