Goodbye, Lady! You Were My Only One...

And... it was great while it lasted...

But, fair MollyMaroon, I canna shell out anymore ducats to keep you about, you bottomless pit-whore, you!

I stripped you bare.. I poured heart soul.. dripped sweat and blood; ripped flesh at times...
Still, you abandon me.
You ask, at a time lacking beyond all other times of me fair existence, more than FOUR FIGURES -- before the decimal enters play-- JUST for the honor of returning home.

Home...

Not only do I na know anymore what that is, but were I privy to said comfort I would na share it's locale with you.

I slept with you-- IN YOU, literally... for nights on end. Through rain, and mud, and a field or three-- and yea, even that night through the Gulf Coast snow-- you carried me, singing all the while, keeping me warm.. my only companion...

Alas, only to abandon in this, my poorest hour, my most needed and desirous of your ability to transport...

Good-bye, my Maroon One...

Ye weren't me first, and likely won't be me last.. but I shall ever hold the keys that once sparked your coil in my treasure chest...

SLAINTE, LADY!!!
