Ode to Dan Keffeler!

O Keffeler! my Keffeler! our R & D is done,

The knife has weather’d every whack, the prize we sought is won,

The course is clear, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the shining blade, the fullers grim and daring;

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my chopper lies,

I cut myself instead.

Eric, while I would in any other case try and humiliate you for your poetry, I must bow down, instead, to your Sharp literary aptitude here as well as it's significance to the thread.:cool::thumbsup:..........

Now, where did you steal all those lines from?
 
It’s Walt Whitman haha

I knew the first line was cobbled from Whitman, but I'm not one who ever remembers punchlines to jokes, let alone all the lines from poems, other than exceptional stuff, like what I myself wrote before I changed my last name from Frost.

Hey you, yeah, with the stupid hat, when u gonna finish that f'ing fence!!?? :D

Ooops, well, now back to the thread subject matter...................
