Punting Tom
Canal folk like to motor
Tom prefers to punt
His vessel has no engine
So this is not a stunt
His boat disused in Amsterdam
In UK was restored
To regain former beauty
And now he lives on board
Once a market gardener
Today with each strong thrust
His heart is set on joining
Canal and River Trust
His work will help the thousands
Who waterways frequent
With volunteers still needed
His gift is heaven sent.
