RIP DARWIN CABIN 2009

Darwin song

by: Jon Cole

with apologies to Jimmy Cliff

 

By the waters of Tenderfoot

Where we lay down

And we once slept

We remember Darwin

 

Oh the wicked

Carry us away from old Darwin

Required to tear it down

How can we have our Sacred Porch

In a strange dorm

 

Let the words of our mouth

And the meditations of our heart

Find and acceptable way to seek

Sweet Revenge

In the summer of 2009, Cascade lost a dear friend...
Darwin cabin was gutted, ruthlessly demolished,
and wiped from earthly existance.

Darwin Cabin, you will forever be in our memories and hearts.


The Ruin of Darwin Cabin

by: SRC

with apologies to Oliver Wendell Holmes

 

Oh tear the rustic cabin down

Long has it perched on high

All eyes on the porch have danced to see the

Eagle soaring by.

 

Beneath her lay Lake Tenderfoot

With musky and walleye galore

The jewel of the lake lands

Shall scan the clouds no more.

 

Her fireplace where we warmed our toes

The mantel with famous glass

Where mice ran wild beneath our nose

While Jim spun tales of bass

 

No more shall feel our waders’ tread

Or share a Northern bake.

The vultures of the Dome have plucked the

Eagle of the lake.

 

Prepare the earthen oven

And lead the Long Pig down

The timbers of the cabin

Shall roast him in the ground.

 

Post to the tree our memories

Burn every board and nail

And give her to the raging storm

The lightning and the gale.
