"*********************A Love Poem for The Ship*******************\n\nSometimes I call you The Whip 'n' Spanker.\nI *heart* you.\n\nYou always bring me smiles, since I found you in '95.\nYour music entertains & brings the mood alive.\nIf I drank beer, you'd let me choose from infinite possibilities.\nInstead, you prepare my pint 'o' Caesar oh so tenderly.\nYour patio is the hub that you let me watch others curiously.\nYou let me prefer 'The Channel' across from the bar where your patrons come to flirt & chat in the evening's ebb and flow.\nYou are home to me when I'm not at home, where everyone is friendly, where the love is what we know.\n\nThe Ship. I *heart* you."^^ .
