THE MOBILE GOAT (Newfoundland folk song)
written by Tom Cahill, made famous by Joan Morrissey
also sung by the Tom Morrissey Band on "Island Man”
also sung by my friend Colleen Power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl_0FrwxIDk
Have you heard the story of the Mobile goat on the grand old southern shore, In the lovely isle of Newfoundland, where goats don't roam no more?
It's about a man named Dillon whose cursin' was of note,
And how he was diggin' for spuds one day, when he spoke to the Mobile goat.
Now the goat was stealin' Dillon's spuds for twenty years or more,
And every time he saw him, Dillon cursed and raged and swore.
He was diggin' hard in his field this time and the goat was chewin' a-way Near a great big six-foot granite rock, when Dillon heard him say:
CHORUS:
Are you diggin' 'em, Dillon? - - - - Are you diggin' 'em deep? - - - -
Are you pilin' 'em, Dillon, - - - - in a great big heap?
"Oh, I'm diggin' 'em," says Dillon, "but not enough to fill a boat,
But I'd be diggin' 'em more if it wasn't for you, you rotten, stinkin' goat! Oh, I'd be diggin' 'em more if it wasn't for you, you rotten, stinkin' goat!”
Now Dillon got the fright of his life when he knew what just took place,
And he said to the good Lord, "'Tis the devil himself come [to] snatch me from your grace,
Come take me for my sacrilege and my rotten life of sin!"
And he ran like mad down the hill to home and the goat just pitched right in.
But they say it was a priest just passin' by when he heard old Dillon curse On the goat and the spuds and the Lord above for makin' all things worse. Just to hush the roars of the heavens above, he thought he'd bid good day, And as he passed that garden fence, the good priest he did say: CHORUS
You could never tell Dillon 'twas the priest who spoke to stop his curses free,
Passin' quietly behind the rock so Dillon couldn't see.
And to this day in Mobile on that grand old southern shore,
There's a thousand who believe the goat spoke out when Dillon swore! CHORUS

I do state I am bipolar on my web page, and don’t appreciate derogatory terms of nutter and lunatic; they are hate speech.
My claim on my web page that I am similar to many past
major and non-pagan religious figures is based on analysis
of patterns and individual events in my mystic cycles and
comparison to those of past figures, including Taliesin.
Then why have I not generated a significant body of
poetry yet? Taliesin experienced a surge in poetic
creativity late in life, and I expect the same will be true
for me; indeed my low/working/ascetic/forsaken/wilderness
years have lasted 27.6 years so far, so long since I
have a global region, whereas Taliesin’s lasted the common
seven years (e.g. Jacob’s and Rama’s lasted 14 years).
But perhaps you are referring to my Sisyphean attemptsOMFG!!! You were right, as per usual, NancyGene.

on alt.religion.druid? Since I am similar to some past
major figures I expect there will be some magick associated
with me. But I can’t be said to be delusional since I
won’t believe that my attempts are working without evidence.
However perhaps I will have to wait until my low years
reach 29 years (the common 7 plus three 11 year sunspot
cycles).
Was there ever a doubt?
Make that Dr. Dalton, I have a Ph.D. in geophysics which I obtainedThis guy exemplifies the term "Fruitcake."Let us take a not-so-wild guess and say that Mr. Dalton is unemployed and unemployable.

From 2019 until very recently I was a part-time Research Assistant I
at Memorial University.
During the pandemic I wasn’t actively looking for a postdoctoral
fellowship but may resume doing so soon, but that may require
me to come up with a bright idea, possibly related to
cetacean communication.
From early 2022 until recently I also temporarily shelved my
academic aspirations to help look after my ill brother, but
he has now moved to a long term care home so that has
come to an end, unless he can get stronger and return home.
One avenue open to me is to also get involved in tutoring.
I allow myself to be more eccentric online and my relations
with other people offline are quite stable.
You should note that the incidence of bipolar disorder among
poets and their family members is quite a bit higher than
in the general population. You might want to read
Kay Jamison’s book Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive
Illness and the Artistic Temperament.

Interesting information, which should be moved from this troll thread, which I'll do, shortly.
Thanks again, and again, welcome, Dr. Dalton.

Quite interesting indeed, I would have missed it since it was posted on a troll thread and I often ignore and skip those types of foolishness...!
