House of Paine

PAINES WAS MY PEQUOD

MY PAINE’S 
my beloved and gracious old PAINE’S

 my one and only
 RESPONSIBILITY
 in this world 

  she's gone 

  sunk below the waves

 for once and for ever 


ahhhh
the black black  day ......


 December   22  

in the year of discovery  
                                      509



thankfully
I can report

 she went down 
with no hands
 left aboard 

 no hands 
at all

not a one 
 
 only  her final 
  skipper   

=========================
 
  I AM
 
THAT FINAL  SKIPPER

 that last 

BEKNIGHTED HELMSMAN 

 and it was 
 I 
and I alone 
who went dow
 with her 



 you can call  me    PAINE 

cursed to roam...

---------------------
no thats non sense   

call me PINKY  
 
pinky goofer
 

the guy who 
 goofed away 

  hiz company 

hiz family company 

hiz fifth generation family company 

the company he led 

the company he  ran into 
the ground 
-------------------------------------------
   I pinky
I ONLY  am left  

TO LIVE IT DOWN

  and     with very little better to do 

then  to tell her tale 

   and  what a   sorry 
sorry   tale it  makes  
 
 all the   
 DISGRACEFUL 
folly glutted 
  late  
 voyages 
and 
 the ever so   
 dark dark  end 
 
-----------------------------------------------------------
 and 
this 

this is my
                     House of Paine 

I plan to build here  ......


no no no

there's
been quite enough
 promises broken already

suffice it to say 

 what
may  
 come 
from this house 

this house of paine 

 will  come
of itself  alone  

to take or to leave
