A tribute to Walt Whitman – by Stew Richland
O Captain! Our Captain our struggle is coming to an end.
Our ship is sinking, our bilges are flooded with so called highly qualified
Sailors, all with experience and a track record of service, and yet
we are SINKIING!
The election is near, we can hear the bells of salvation ringing just over
the horizon.
I can hear the people, yelling, HUZAH, HUZAH, our victory is in sight!
Captain O’ Captain call in the MALCONTENTS, they will lead the way.
You and your officers are not tried and true! You navigated us way off course.
From fearful trip to March elections, a new course we will sail.
The ship is now anchored, safe and sound. Your voyage is near and done.
We can now set the course to a brighter destination,
O’ Captain your end is near, but don’t fear, we can always use experienced deck
Hands.
