The Wit is nimble, and can skip
The longest distances with ease.
It flits on an extended trip,
One day, and back from overseas.
The Wisdom hasn’t cleared the dock,
A wide, and long, and sluggish ship,
Her cargo a tremendous stock,
And filled as if by faucet drip.
But such a huge displacement packs,
What takes a flimsy, skimming skiff
More than a hundred there’s and back’s,
A bounty to save Tenerife.
