What? The Gulf of Mexico is no mo'? Well, that's just a big no-no! I like what some cartoons show - southern half of the Gulf: "Golfo de Mexico", northern half: "Golfo del Presidente Loco"! So, to honour our Mexican amigos, let's sing a cantata then call the "Gulf of Alaska" the Gulf of Canada!!!...

The Gulf
To visit the Gulf of America, In case you get the notion, You might fly over what’s now called The Mar-a-Lago Ocean. Be sure to click your seatbelt, For when using this portation, (The “trans” has been removed) You’ll pass a bright red once-great nation. Get your brand-new passports ready For the agents are quite brusque And you might just get deported To a planet now...

Premium Member GONZO STATION, Gulf of Oman, Northern Zone, 1980
It had something to do with American hostages in Iran was all I knew. Some political complication that required a showing of the flag. But Iran had been our ally? I’d seen their sailors train at our base, And their uniforms looked even nicer than ours. Now they were the enemy? OK. I don’t ask questions. It hadn’t been...

Everywhere we look, we see a divide, as head destroys heart, trampling it to dust and paths of kindness, most of us deride, living a life unholy and unjust, oblivious to soul weeping inside, bemoaning ego’s indulgence in lust. There’s a yawning gap between head and heart, which we can bridge on adding love to cart. Conscience whispers but we heed not its...

I stood on the tip of the top of the cliff and looked down, Though valleys seemed colorful, scenes deep down were grey and brown; A few freshwater streams were springing from filmy fountains, Lo, why these ants-colonies roam on the Rocky Mountains; The entire landscape looked like a huge monster's mouth yawning, Are these sounds and noises around...

The gulf between us is such a yawn. It's boredom drawn out in endless re-runs. Opposites are meant to attract like magnets, north and south. Right! But our chasm is abysmal. It's a melody of maladies and sick jokes bespoken by a stand-up with yawning incompetence standing on a cliff, shouting into the distance while peering into the gulf of what might have been. No one's listening. Right!...

And now - imagine the sun rising over the gulfs broad reach where waters run the long length of sandy beaches and the cry of a gull piercing the bright air, sounding a morning as if to plumb its measure. Now - slowly begin to feel the solitude, the absence of dominion, a vastness of scale that laps the limits of all thought, an alchemy of earth, air and...

Premium Member Count It With Numbers - Gulf of Guinea, September, 1839
Dropped anchor off the Fever Coast ‘board a rake-masted schooner Spooked by Ahab’s ghost. Lamps glowered through the yawning blanks Casting bone-twisted shadows Over teakwood planks. Salt biscuits and Jamaican rum; Heard the deep-throated rattle Of the talking drum. Count it with numbers. Say it with words... Leaned hard against the mains’l boom. Strained my eyes in the blackness Of the brackish...

The Moon Over the Gulf
My mind wanders back to a gentler night When I sat on a mound waiting for first light It was a summer’s night with a breeze on my face And the full moon shone on the gulf in its rightful place The day had passed at its usual pace With classroom time and exercise in our race And I dreamed of...
