I didn't know Gordon was going to be in the area until he called, so I was as pleasantly surprised as the rest of you. He has talked me into reciting as a poem a song that I used to sing. It's titled OLD BROWN'S HEAD LIGHT by John McCutcheon. It's not easy to recite a poem that you learned as a song, the meter is so different, but he says it is a stronger piece without the music.
I believe it's in the collection at Mudcat.

That lighthouse is one that I sailed by countless times when I was Captain of the Explorer back in the early 60's.
Nostalgia on steroids.
