The boat wabbled on

The boat wabbled on
The oar double drawn.
The boat wabbled on.

The water just at the brim
Full of men and women.
The boat wabbled on.

He sneezed, she budged
There was a mighty rock.
The boat wabbled on.

The boatman looked ahead
Paying passengers no stead.
The boat wabbled on.

She threw out a hand
Dipped feet in water sand.
The boat wabbled on.

The shore was near
We saw the crowd in fear.
The boat wabbled on.

The was no more room
For even the lady's broom.
The boat wabbled on.

Anxious to get home
You tried to board, but
the boat wabbled on.

In a fit of rage
You hurled a twig, but
the boat wabbled on.

This time around
You aimed a stone.
The boat hesitated
and it slowly drowned.

You walked away
brimming in misery, hoping
the boat had wabbled on.
