I think the White House
a ship moored in the Potomac;
Constitution Hall,
moored in the Delaware;
Faneuil Hall,
moored in the Charles;
Fort Sumpter,
moored in Charleston Bay;
Atlanta,
moored in the Chattahoochee;
the Alamo,
moored in the San Antonio’
Sacramento,
moored in the Sacramento
and American. These oars us
forward.
