What's that coming around the bend in the river?
Can it be? Why, yes it is! it's
the Delta Queen! Isn't she a dandy? And the calliope
practically laughs across the water! Oh, no! It's not stopping for us!
Say farewell to the Delta Queen, she's on her way to New Orleans...
Ah, well, if we want to tread the boards of a paddle-wheeler, there's still the Rhododendron, the museum showboat, up in Clinton, Iowa. I once saw a semi-pro production of "The Fantasticks", there, in my young and dissolute days. Life, then, was slow, and oh, so mellow. I could go back, again, I think.
