“Lunchbox” just went sailing by
With “Cyclone Shark” behind.
There’s also “Seas the Day” and more
With river puns in mind.
The ferryboats that pass each day
All proudly sport a name,
Some student contest winners,
Guaranteeing some acclaim.
Though most are not creative,
Like “Connector,” I confess
I much prefer that to the flat-out lie –
“Friendship Express.”
