I am the Captain
of what you might ask.
Am I a has been
or do I serve a task?
Oh, I sail now and then,
drank rum from the cask.
I'm now beached on the hard,
dreaming of visits to ports,
from the sea I'm barred
and off even keel of sorts.
My helm locked and marred
as my body grows warts.
When next comes Spring,
heaven will rain my mana
and sea song I will sing,
while keeping beat with a banana.
The ships bell will again ring
at launch time for the Manana.
Cast the lines - raise the sails,
chart a course for any place.
Rig the ship for mighty gales,
take all storms right in my face.
Fear not what make good sea tales,
Captain again - gleams on my face.
A reporter for the Porcupine Press, the newspaper for the Porcupine Valley and surrounding area, caught the evening freight train coming through the tunnel into the valley with two of the new railroad cars belonging the PVRR. Nobody had seen any artwork relating to the logo that Toivo and Eino had designed and had painted on the cars at the factory. It will be interesting to see how the Valley folks react to this design. One thing is for sure, it is different than anybody expected, including this reporter. When asked about it, Toivo and Eino stated that they want to express the wonderful and happy place that the Porcupine Valley is.
