As you read the following, you need to keep in your head the music to the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. With that tune in mind - read on.....


The legend lives on from the Henderson on down
Of the big lake they called ‘gonna wackme’.
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of summer turn gloomy
With a load of Blue Lite twenty-six 12 packs more
Than the faithful old "Imager" weighed empty.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of summer came early.

RIP was the pride of the american side
Coming back from some brew pub in Sacketts
As true off-shores go, she was efficient though slow
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple beer firms
When he left fully loaded for A-Bay
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind RIP’d been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as did captain RIP too,
T'was the witch of the big lake come stealin'.
The dawn came late and his Blue had to wait
When the gales of the summer came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was taxin' his brain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, Mrs. Axa came on deck sayin'.
RIP, it's too rough to feed ya.
At seven p.m. a deck hatch caved in, she said
RIP, it's been good t'know ya.

I truly appreciate your twistedness, don't doubt it! :drink:

When the S.S. Minnow runs into trouble I have a dedicated diver to look at the situation. ;)

When the S.S. Minnie (social security Minnie) runs into trouble "below the waterline", our own axa will go down (I mean drive her down) to Boca to see a snatch-and-grab specialist.
No jet-setting for them, as just spectatoring that OL crippled his checkbook and left it standing only on one of those cheap walkers he gives to his clients when banana's are out of season. :p
