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.
