So sad it is to see ole Sol a-settin'

We log an era ending, mourn the loss,

And wait and watch and wonder are we getting'

A Captain new, a curio, a boss?

As each new storm brings changes to the shorelines

And washes gone the muck beneath our decks,

This tempest too shall pass and we, the bylines,

Must welcome in the next peculiar Wreck!

Scout

Must we indeed? WHite powder Scout's been snortin'!
We need not "must" nor welcome any dreck,
Since odds are even that they'll pain our neck.
Who knows? The next might be a new Paul Fortin!
