Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Gliding On the River

I watch the traffic crawling by 
As I upon the river glide.
The satisfaction that I feel
Is something that I cannot hide.

For years and years this river flowed 
Without a ferry plowing through. 
What took so long to figure out
That one and one add up to two?

But why complain, for now I have
A ride where I can just relax 
With all the peace and quiet that
The crowded subway surely lacks.
