Venetian Night

Venetian Night

by Bud Lemire on March 21, 2007

Down at the Yacht Harbor on Venetian Night

All the boats parade the water with colorful lights

Decorated in lights, all over their boats

As we watched from our car, those waterway floats

From Aronsons Island, as they flowed past

They moved at a pace that was not too fast

Passing by the Water Plant, into the Yacht

Some had sails, while others did not

Some lights were colored, but it wasn’t always so

Many were perfectly arranged, just for the show

Just like the house lights, around the Christmas Holiday

Only back then, these were on the waterway

Everyone who watched, picked the most beautiful one

Comparing notes, and it sure was a lot of fun

The Popcorn Stand was there, so I got me some

While more boats passed by, the night wasn’t done

I watched every boat pass, lit up in the Yacht

While enjoying the popcorn I recently bought

Boats of every size, lit up so bright

A parade on water, on Venetian Night

Venetian Night hasn't been around in awhile,

but I remember the times we had watching them.
