Harbor Concert

Harbor Concert

There’s a choir down at the harbor
whose occasional concerts are free,
and the gulls and some terns,
and a fisherman’s worms
its audience likely will be.

Foghorn’s the basso profundo,
his deep voice booming the beat,
while the tenor is sung
from the great freighter’s lungs
as they ride down the watery street.

Altos are tugs in a hurry,
crooning while working the bay.
Sleek yachts trill soprano
without a piano,
accompanied by rhythmic waves.

So come along now as we listen
to songs that the harbor sings.
We’ll sit on the rocks
or dance on the docks
as nautical melodies ring.
