Do you want to come along
We have this cute little tugboat
Sister and I
Going up and down the canals
That's our new life
Wouldn't you like to come along
Two empty bunks
It doesn't seem so romantic
But wait you'll see
Sister and I and our spouses
Four retired folk
But guests don't stay you'd have to leave
We share with all
Cook, clean, swab, pull ropes. Fill the tanks
A hand could stay

- Karin was remembering the poems she had memorized when she was young. She then realized that many used the word "going" or another form of "go" in them.
- This process was the basis for her a asking us to remember along with her and then to WRITE a poem using "going" fairly near its beginning. BTW, I've used the word "going" 17 times on this blog https://jimmiehov6.blogspot.com/search?q=going&m=1 One them is titled, "Going, going, gone" as the title of Karin's post with the Toads above.
- If Nursery Rhymes count I'm sure "This Little Pig . . . " was my first to memorize.
After the boat ride, our busy day would continue.
Old town, Carcassonne, was next on our journey.
