Shikara Ride Now I have a story To tell all of you, Of a boat and a ride That we took. You may not believe What I say is all true Cause it sounds like It comes from a book. Jon Hiemstra's the man Who has built this fine boat It is all made by hand Out of wood. You look at this craft And you think will this float ? For you do'nt really know If it could. But this boat's so sweet And the ride was a dream, Over ripple and wave We did glide. The sun through the clouds On the water did gleam And lily pads right By our side. Jon makes this boat go With a paddle or two, And for hours we Journeyed around, You just can't imagine Where all we went through, Pleasant sights everywhere Did abound. Thanks Jon ! It was a wonderful experience ! Stephanie, Willows, California, USA
