I like how Gordon references the lake by the Indian name in the first stanza, then when he’s bookending it all he calls it ‘Superior’ in the last. Just sayin’

That being said, there's nothing nicer than sitting on the rocks on the edge of Superior watching the waves come in. There used to be a billboard on I-494 outside of Minneapolis with a long shot of the Superior shore looking out over the lake, with the simple caption "Fire Your Therapist."
Re: your tagline -- "Let us not be like those who say, 'Let us vote Goode, that evil may come.' Their condemnation is just."
Cheers!

Really? You think it’s easy coming up with words to rhyme with Gitchy-Goonie (sp)?

I have the words/melody of the Edmund Fitzgerald burned in my memory. I was having some difficulty getting the alliteration of the parody to work. Amusing anyway.

I'd sing this version to you, but my singing voice has been banned by the Geneva convention.
