Under Observation

A boat called the Manhattan II,

With sightseers on board,

Just glided by en route to places

That they’ve not yet toured.

 

Inside were people sitting down

But outside, on the deck,

Some tourists stood, with better views

Of sights they’d want to check.

 

Their camera phones were pointing,

For the scene that they could see

Did include the mayor’s mansion

And, in front, included me!

 

I gazed back like a creature

Stuck inside a zoo somewhere,

Under observation while returning

Each onlooker’s stare.
