Stefan is a man
so mired in gloom,
that it was inevitable
he'd be called "Captain Doom".
When the fishcrats started regulating
about 30 years ago,
Captain Doom started acting
like he was in the know.
It was as if he had seen
the whole movie before,
and he was just giving us clues,
about what was in store.
Conjure up a worst case scenario
regarding any fishery,
and according to Captain Doom,
that is the way it was going to be.
IFQ's, closures, and marine sanctuaries
are the fishcrats stock in trade,
and despite the fishermen's input
only their hand is played.
Regardless of our experience
catching fish from the sea,
the NMFS computer models
are the Fishcrats reality.
In the final analysis
we should give Captain Doom his due,
for most of his dire predications
turned out to be true.
So if we were to change his name today,
what would it be?
Instead of Doom,
it would be Captain Grim Reality.
