O Captain! My Captain!


O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.


O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills; 10
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.


My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; 20
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Walt Whitman

Hello again ,Dahling.

As you know...I was tied up completeing a major vaporization. MainCourse being the victim.



But now I wish to appease your appetite for fine poims....in case you have missed this one I have posted from the past. If not.....it's one that can never be read too much:





When I am dead, my dearest




When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Christina Georgina Rossetti

BEWARE: He does not chew his prey, he simply kills it and moves on.

I render him impotent. He moves on because he simply doesn't have the ability to keep up with me. Surprisingly, his skill set is quite limited.

Stopping by Woods to Dump A Body


Whose vaporized head this is I think I know.
His body is still in the chamber, though;
He will not see it spazzing there
Perhaps I should put it outside; in the snow.

My little horsey thinks this dead head queer
To stop without a body near
I decided instead to fling it out onto the frozen lake
The rotting process will take a year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
He thinks the odd head some mistake.
It appears to him to be a dweeb
Of a simple mind and a total flake.

The vaporized head is empty and doesn't sound a peep,
But it doesn't know where art its body,
It's miles away upon the frozen lake,
It's miles away upon the frozen lake.
