The boat came in beside the dock,
the water splashed and foamed,
the people cheered and gazed in awe,
at this gigantic ship
First class as always boarded first
and after that the rest
Children clung to Mothers hands,
everyone dressed in their best
Seagulls in the fresh cold air glided to and fro
everyone from everywhere came to see the show
The walls so white
the dishes new
the people all dressed up
the murmur of excitement grew as they all qued up
Finally, last person on
then they closed the doors
the final ticket counted
the final hug goodbye
then the Ship began to sail
on its first and final journey against the sky.
