Rectangle Creep - Dead Seals and a Gun-Shot Goose
Summer of 1906T.I.'s first visit to the spit
Touring Tillamook Bay
In a rowboat
On the rocky spit
Preened the goose
T.I.'s instincts were good
He did what a developer should
Brought out a six-shot revolver and
Shot down the goose
Life itself
Will fuel our wealth
The wages of death
Paid by someone else
Sit we down to sup
As the dead seals wash up
On our next exciting property
At the very spot where the
Shot goose dropped
Became the X on the map
Marking the spot for Bayocean
Still only a notion
Mocking the spot for Bayocean
Still only an ocean
T.B.
Thomas Benton the elder
Real estate developer
Carefully inlaid his mark
Along the coast
From Elk River Spit
To Jump-Off Joe
Placed his daughter's name
Arleta
On all the subdivisions
So she had it changed
To Natalia
T. Potter
Senior and Junior
Engaged in all manner of enterprise
T.I.
Thomas Irving the younger
Goose shooter and
His father's personal man
High-toned and testy
Closing deals by the dozens
