Water Music

I’m drowsing by the river With the sunshine on my face When I hear John Lennon singing, Lyrics worthy of embrace. There’s a boat out on the water With “Imagine” playing loud And the stars and stripes a’flutter, Which should work with any crowd. After zipping ‘round in circles, Soon that sailor headed south As the words to “Heaven’s Door” Came pouring out of Dylan’s mouth. I did wonder ‘bout the owner, Since most craft make not a sound, But at least his choice of music Made me want another round.
