I stood at the very edge of the peninsula
Admiring all my past work -
I was captain of land and sea and rock!
There was my ship
Casting shadow along the skyline
Alas but where were my crew?

I called to them
Bartering with their dampened souls,
Oh my men of dearest bravery
My companions and dearest friends!
"Oh captain our captain,"
Came but one faint reply
"Poetry's dead Sir,
Why haven't you text us?"
