It was a great delight
Under cool and bright sunshine in Istanbul
To meet you, my dear friends
Wth kebabs and beers filling our curious tongues
We were brainstorming and sharing thoughts And making eye-opening riddles
To show each other how cruel and inscrutable life could be
And how many unknown opportunities should be explored
Were we not cats around Istanbul streets, Leisurable, fearless and unrestrained,
To make the world home?
