Along Comes Mary

I can’t resist . . . but Mary aka QM2 lingered in Red Hook a bit yesterday, conjuring up this 1960s song (great Smothers Brothers show version), these lyrics, and it seemed

Schooner Pioneer drew near, maybe to seek the oracle or exchange sweet nothings or somethings, prompting

a mad dash from the other coast of Manhattan, other

schooners like Adirondack, who wanted some of the action, the attention,

or not;

likewise, Imagine may have felt the compulsion

and might have drawn closer, but my own attention

by then was directed elsewhere.  More tomorrow.
