The Lyrics
The drink it is, this inland sea,
And it is stormy and windy.
A sea whose hungry waves would crest
And take down cook and all the rest.
A sea that on that fateful day
Had the Edmund sail from the bay.
This sea’s wind screaming everywhere. . .
Fitz on the fritz, beyond repair.
The wind, the waves, relentless rain
Mean on the bottom she is lain.
Gordon’s poem now prompts parody
’bout Fitz on “Gitche Gumee” sea.
And it is stormy and windy.
A sea whose hungry waves would crest
And take down cook and all the rest.
A sea that on that fateful day
Had the Edmund sail from the bay.
This sea’s wind screaming everywhere. . .
Fitz on the fritz, beyond repair.
The wind, the waves, relentless rain
Mean on the bottom she is lain.
Gordon’s poem now prompts parody
’bout Fitz on “Gitche Gumee” sea.

I used to live a 3-minute walk from Kilmer's birthplace in New Brunswick. The house is preserved as a landmark. Not exactly "restored," but preserved. If that bullet had missed him, we'd have to be honest and say he was a hack. But he died in World War I and thus was a "hero."
This series is growing faster than any tree can keep up. Another nice entry to the, if not competition, well, exactly what is this anyway?
I'm going to try to add my "What if... Wrote Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" for tomorrow. The artist I'm using will be Fall Out Boy.
