'o Captain, oh Caption' timothy r gates, 8/29/2008

o Captain, o Captain
oh, Caption, oh, Caption
i, too, see
the hoary caps
the amorous breeze,
here i sing with
you,
praying for tomorrow's air,
to-day,
sardonic wit
i am wont to say,
from my favorite bumper sticker,
not that i know this any more than
something other,
'g-o-d loves you;
every one else thinks you're an asshole.'
o Captain, o Captain
the caption
as we slide over the
equator,
'watch out,
if your head's in a porthole
you're apt to get fucked,'
and,
if you're in the NAVY,
as with any of Uncle Sam's duty bound
boys and girls,
'you're for sure to
get fucked.'
send the Commander in Chief
an infamous battle cry,
'get fucked,
i'll not do your bidding,
again!'
smile,
g-o-d loves you.
