"Let's float a boat", the plea is strong, "Let's float a boat", a chant, a song. Whenever the rain falls and water flows in the street, "Let's float a boat" I hear him repeat, not once, not twice, but 'til we are heading for the door. And should I hesitate, "Let's float a boat", I hear once more. In the rain, soaked and drenched we make our way, boats tightly clenched in tiny hands with childish glee, small boats soon to face a curbside sea. Man and child wrapped in love's raincoat happily lost in a dream of "Let's float a boat".
