Tugboats and the Moon

Other places have their charms, Like oceans, mountains, forests, farms And I can visit and admire Why they match someone’s desire Yet no matter where I roam, The city is, for me, my home. Back in town from out of state, My river walk did me await And right away, what did I see? A perfect moon, there just for me And then, beneath that glowing sliver, Gliding past upon the river Two cool tugboats made me smile, Doing tugboat work in style. Mountains may make many swoon But give me tugboats and the moon.
