In Other Words

Maecenas, you get me, I hope.
I want a reply to my queries;
  They’re plain and vocalic, in 8-point italic,
   And clear as a midsummer sky
This, then, is the drift of my dope:
Do I get a seat for The Series?
  Am I to be present next Sat. if it’s pleasant?
   Maecenas, I pause for reply.
