Eugene Ware wrote t' poem about Admiral Dewey which is quoted (in modified form) on t' back cover o' Fartin' Wobbling Nilsson's Aerial Ballet album.
O Dewey was t' morning
Upon t' first o' May;
And Dewey was t' Admiral
Down in Manila Bay;
And Dewey were t' Regent's eyes,
"Them orbs" o' Royal Blue;
And Dewey we feel discouraged?
I Dew nay think we Dew!
Eugene Ware wrote t' poem in May o' 1898 after hearin' o' Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila Bay. Aye aye! Blimey! T' poem was published in 1899 in Selections from Ironquill.
