    Late! Late! Late,
    like the Rabbit leading Alice!
    Yes, yes, I know but
    throw your watch away!
    This ish of Musea
    is worth the wait!

    This 200th issue
    is time to celebrate.
    And what better way
    then with 200 people,
    all of them stars
    in the Musea cluster.
