Come, come, now ES --- I must admist that Barry-Y is a very talented poet, but there are other poems written that would also be fitting for the GD, such as:
  • The Captains Name was Carter.
  • The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck.
  • Away, Away, with Fife and Drum.
  • 'Twas on the Good Ship Venus.
  • There was a Young Man from Nantucket, etc., etc.

In the light of those, the Blake was a refreshing and enlightening change.
