The Beauty of Abaco Built

The lines are fine, the finish smooth,

except the joints indented be.

The bottom round and smooth.

She's small, yet large as she should be.

Row Roe, go softly with the tide.

Slice and slide atop the shifting glaze.

Take them to Governors and ports, and fishing grounds.

Take them to heaven if there you be.

Show them how well your blues and reds are shifted

atop the bubbling, bright white layer that shows you well.

See the proud and beaming eyes that gaze you,

Show them how fine they too can be.

Stay new and jointed, shaped and shiny.

Flow into the hearts of those who dare to see.
