For Lynn Salmonsen
They say that
anyone can learn to row,
and most anyone
can learn to sing, and so,
with patience, practice,
and the proper technique,
most anyone could be
a rowing singer every week!
Given this, it’s easy
to extrapolate
and create a lovely choir from a rowing eight.
Have a sweet soprano sitting in the center.
Add three altos, three
basses, and one tenor.
Put in the stern a
faithful music lover
who spurs the crew
through each drive and recover,
to cross the
finish line in victory,
singing a requiem
in harmony, perfectly.
Those watching
from the shore are moved to cheer,
While those who listen closely shed a tear.
