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.

I agree, Jan! It almost felt like I was on vacation in another city...
