Long Voyage
The old man came from a long
List of early settlers, who
Entered America by ship in 1613
At Virginia. The first one's name
Was Ambrose and he begat a series
Of Ambroses that brought the adventurers
To 1800, where one named William Walton
Was born, and told the President, "We must
have Panama." and he proceeded to get
That land for America. He begat Walter
Who begat Walter and William And Cabell
Carrington and John, who went forth and
Adventured for America, and begat Walter
Betty and Sarah and Jean, and William
Louise and Roberta and Cabell and
Stephanie and Elizabeth, and they begat
Rachel and Alec and Tom and Kathrynn
Jacqulyn and Elise and Zoe.
And I William am one of them.
