Rose and all ,I have just
fininshed a great new poem.I think you`ll agree it`s the best one yet...Faye
193. O
Captain! My Captain!
1
O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the
bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim
and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart! 5
O the bleeding drops of
red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
2
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the
flag is flung—for you the bugle trills; 10
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you
the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is
some dream that on the deck, 15
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
3
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not
feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage
closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; 20
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk
the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

OOPS !..
I must have
been thinking
..of Leaves of Grass
as the wind blew
fall leaves past
my
window
where I did muse
and wonder if I could
get away with this ruse..

I must make a retraction, to something I said in this
forum, I will show it in red what I am retracting. I retract that sentence, because I did not
read that you was in the hospital on your web site, the web site indicates that you worked at the
hospital. Where you supposedly wrote the poem don’t quit.
I would also like to make a
statement, to the origin of this poem, certainly this poem has got to be printed in a book, long
before 1995, That is my first quest to find a book with this poem printed in it prior to 1995,
that is the year that you take claim to the poem.
My second quest is to find out what
year the Catholic Church made this poem “don’t quit” a prayer. My third quest will be finding the
poem that, my Mother and Aunt booth say there Grandmother had displayed in her home, my aunt was
born in 1929, my mother was born in 1934, so I am believing that the so stated hand written poem
that she took the time to transcribe on to parchment paper would have been done sometime between
1900 and 1929. I have not seen this with my own eyes, so that is only hearsay
At the moment
My third point I am going to make, I personally take the words of my Mother, and my Aunt
as to when they first read this poem to be the truth, they have no reason what so
ever to lie
to me. Also I am going to get with my friend who Is an English professor retired since 1990, who
is also 76 years old, and see what evidence he has concerning the origin of this poem.
I will not set back and banter with you further on this poem, I need my proof in front of
me to make a conclusion, to this very important claim you have, I know I have read this poem in a
book while I was in high school. I will get my ducks in a row, and I can guarantee you Sir that I
will not Quit, until I have satisfied my intellect to the origin of this poem.
My Final
Quest sir will be to find you guilty of plagiarism, and to prove to the world that you lied and
are deceitful, in your claim to this poem. If I can not find the proof I seek, I will certainly
make an apology to you in open forum, I already know the truth, I just need to find the
proof.
Also I am not one bit frightened of you, if you would like to respond to me in an
email, I give my email address freely to you it is (Email removed from post by
admin.)
Best regards to you sir

Ray he won’t see your
post as I suspended his account. I suggest if you wish to contact him, you go to his hoax website
and mail him. I’m also not sure why you would apologize, when I have the proof in my hands that
he didn’t write the poem and you know very well he didn’t either.

By mentioning it, it sounds
like you are giving him the benefit of the doubt, when there is no way that he could possibly be
the original author of the poem. You can do a search through the copyright office for 75 dollars
but I’m not about to waste that money on the likes of him. Not when I have the proof in my hands
and Shawn has taken photos of that proof. Now that you have mailed him, welcome to our day. Have
fun!

In order for it to be published in all these books would it
not have to be in public domain?

I feel sorry for him. I truly
think he has convienced hisself he wrote it. I think it is just like I said in the other forum
post. "He saw it, liked it, copied it, forgot he had it, found it, and since it was in his own
writing he thought he wrote it. |

Becky I have no sympathy for a
man that tells me and my husband to go kill ourselves because the world won’t miss scum like us.
He also said God willing you and your obese woman will never bring scum children into this world
because what world needs more of you in it.
He also sent this
email

oh and another thing about fat people, like your ugly wife
Shawn.. you see they don't think straight. What your fat wife oh wait.. I forgot a word.. What
your fat, ugly wife told me was that she had the poem on a keychain.. what does that mean? She
has the poem on a keychain and now that means it was written in the 1800's only a fat,
cholestrol filled half brain could think like that. No intelligent person with a normal brain
would ever make a statement like the that! Your dumb spouse never sent one piece of proof about
her convictions! All she does is use her piece of shit website to slander people! Fuck your fat
wife! She's got nothing to say about the poem and you .. you must be the stupidest fuck to keep
a bitch like that around! You both are welcome to come to NY I'll personally kick the fucking
shit out of both of you.. Of course this is not a threat.. this will only be in self defense..
Show that to your lawyer and oh.. tell your lawyer to suck my fucking dick too.. And one last
thing
CANADA IS A POOR FUCKING EXCUSE FOR A COUNTRY! IS CANADA A COUNTRY? I MEAN WE HERE
IN THE STATES JOKE ABOUT YOU FUCKING WEIRDOS ALL NIGHT LONG ON OUR COMEDY SHOWS! IT'S ALWAYS A
GOOD LAUGH.. MAPLE LEAFS.. HAHA WHAT A FUCKING SHAME YOU AND YOUR FUCKING SHAMEFUL CANADA!
FUCK YOU ROSE YOU FUCKING FAT UGLY PIECE OF SHIT
JuST MY OPINION SHAWN.
YOURS
TRULY
GERRY |
Having read that, do you feel sorry for
him?
My apology to everyone who is offended by the language.

Rose and Shawn, I am very sorry
that you have had to deal with such a hateful man. Apparently no one ever told him that arguing
by email was a rather daft practice, but does leave a lovely bit of evidence against him and his
atrocious behavior.
*hugs to you both*

The sad thing is that he is
sending mail which violates AOL's Terms of Service.
Aol recognizes harassment as
Any message or series of messages sent via emails that meet the legal definition of
harassment.
Because of these violations, AOL should have suspended the use of his screen
names, but as far as I know they haven’t.

I don't feel sorry for this
idiot especially since I saw all he has written to Shawn and Rose all the dispicable and
absolutely disgusting things he's said he's an absolutely sicko and he'll get what's coming
to him too in the end
