WEST VANCOUVER FERRYhlEN By Norman MacLeod 7 Oh, the little ferry boats nosing through the fog, Dodging ship, and tug, and raft, here and there a log, Hear the ditferent foghorns, shriek, and grunt and roar, Listen to the echoes come back from the shore, While we sit and listen, nerves upon the rack, Yet the sturdy skipper gets us over there--and back. 7 Skipper in the pilot house, standing by the wheel, Knows how we depend on him, nerves must be of steel; I'eering through a blanket of fog, that's thick and fat, Smells the way, snd takes it like a homing cat. All balll the handy skippers, who have got the knack, And take our little ferry boats, over there--and back. Yet, some dsy we hope to get, what we need, a bridge Leading safely tp our homes nestled 'neath the "Ridge;" So should it be foggy, out or homeIvard bound, Wouldn't matter'quite so much, st least we won't be drowned But while we'e debating, and while a bridge we lack, .Trust'pur gallant ferrymen to steer us there--and back.
