Eat your snacks now
they are told
i see them
many blond headed
chubby jowled
Some have chocolate milk
and Ivar's clam chowder
nachos too
dressing in red top sweaters
seems the rule
The ferry passes the other way
my guess is they are for a visit
to the aquarium on the quay
A little one in Santa's hat
plays the fiddle
("Sleep in Heavenly Peace")
everyone claps
The six year old virtuoso plays on,
someone's talented niece
nearly across the water
children's voices calming me
beautifully
mountains, forest, and the sea
