Gondola Found Floating on a Village Green
Before play was performed had a rehearsal
With artists who did have a wide dispersal
Of talent that in show was highly required
So each of them had to be quickly hired.
Scenery needed to have props here and there
And after a while they soon were well aware
After checking things out and further review
What they now needed was a production crew.
Vacant performer positions needed to be filled
And the show itself was required to be billed
In theater for tremendous theatrical performance
Also to rules and regulations total conformance.
Once completed all of this had soon set the stage
For history to try and flip another complete page
Setting standards to be followed as well as seen
Show name was Gondola Floating on Village Green.
James Thomas Horn
It’s interesting to see
passengers in drove --
a multiplicity of cultures;
thronged towards the ferry.
New Yorkers or Staten Islanders
all in a hurry to get home;
seemingly tired and exhausted,
unwilling to talk and be in dialogue.
Well, that’s how I picture these people.
while also waiting for the ferry boat,
I could sense everyone’s inclination;
just sitting there and talk no more.
the wind gets through the inner room
cool and chilly though well bundled.
Others would create certain actions
to attract some of those with children;
giving them attention as what they need
could generate an answer to be entertained.
Oh, like a theatrical performance for them
those actors, musicans, and bible preachers
showing their craft in distinctive ways
makes everyone wonder and truly entertained.
