The ferry is icumen in
Lhude sing yoo-hoo
But no! It’s not the Langdale run
It’s only the Nanaimo one
It might as well be Timbuctoo
Lhude cry boo-hoo
What a recurring deja-vu
This waiting in the Langdale queue!
Another running-late snafu
With every ferry overdue
Oh, when will we be channelled through
That we may keep our rendez-vous?
We’re stuck in line-ups, left to stew
And tired of the awful view
Of irate cars and retinue
Oh help us, mighty Manitou
To reach our land of Xanadu
We don’t need a pleasure dome
We only crave our frugal home
Martin Machler, Sechelt
