*laughing* And a little ditty inspired by the charms of our BC ferries...

O, the grimy blue carpet crunches under your feet
and the ceiling-beams rattle to an unsteady beat
the cheap vinyl chairs peel off of your back
as you struggle for comfort (of which there's a lack)

The lights up above are a skull piercing glare
so you vacate your seat 'cause your nerves are rubbed bare
the scent from the head just adds to your mood
as you stumble down hallways a' looking for food

The galley is crowded with tables galore
and ketchup packs squished all over the floor
The quality vittles availible here
would make the most hardened of men shed a tear

I'm sure some more verses will come to me the next time I have occasion to ride that majestic craft we call a ferryboat!

Cheers,
