Work accomplished

A washing hangs upon the line, 
but it's not mine. 
None of the things that I can see 
belong to me.
The neighbors got a radio with an aerial; 
we got a little portable. 
They got a lot of closet space; 
we got a suitcase.

The enchanted boat

"My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing;
And thine doth like an angel sit
Beside a helm conducting it,
Whilst all the winds with melody are ringing.
It seems to float ever, forever ..."
