I SHIPS AND HARBORS Ships are like children eoming home, To eat and tahe their rest. Harbors are shelters and like to homes, After our roaming they are best. Ships steam in and ships sail out, Carrying men and freight to distant lands- Harhors remain while the world moves about- Ready always for any demand. JAMES NIORRISSEY, ,42 25
