Poem---Alviso Queen by MA Johnson 9-6-75

A lady dressed in yellow

With frills of white lace

She really charms a fellow

With her steadfast look of grace.

She'll float upon the ocean blue

She'll sail without a care

Her heart beats with love that's true

As the ocean wind blows through her hair.

Stars sparkle in her eyes

As the moonbeams light her face

Underneath the gliddering skies

Is a Lady; you 'll want to trace.

When to you she opens her heart

You feel secure and warm

Knowing that she'll never part

And last through every storm.

We sailed her, we cooked in her galley, we caught fish and ate them readily, she took a trip to Hawaii and back, she never failed. What a trip life can be. G-Ma :O)
