Riding on the Ferry

I am very, very, very

Fond of riding on the ferry.

There’s no traffic on the river,

So it’s easy to deliver

 

All the riders when expected

From the boats they have selected.

Up on top, the ride is breezy,

But in any seat, it’s easy

 

To gaze out at your surroundings

While the vessel’s leaps and boundings

Take you all around the city

For a taste of nitty-gritty.

 

Passengers of all persuasions

Ride for various occasions –

Workers heading to employment,

Tourist seeking pure enjoyment.

 

People-watching is rewarding.

Check out strangers while they’re boarding.

Hear the accents from their nations;

Eavesdrop on some conversations.

 

Ditch the subway, bus or taxi;

Turn your mini journey maxi

And your mood from tense to merry.

Hop on board a New York ferry!
