The boat cuts through the winding river
as a needle splits the thread.
With blades shaving the top of the water
and the Coxswain steering the head.

Wind at their backs, the water races past
the landscape blurs from bow to stern
And finally, the horizon disappears at last
as every muscle starts to burn.

I sit on the riverside, watching the eight-man
and I’m jealous of each and every one of you
While you boast the ability to be free of the land..
I’m wishing I could be on the varsity crew.

Maybe you could...just take a vacation, and do it for YOU! Maybe it's not for forever, but for a week, or two is better 'n nuthin,' right? Maybe on a charter? Seems a shame to waste a dream.

Enjoyed a brief visit to Boston and picked up on the excitement of the competition...from a hotel lobby...keep up the writes!
