"On my boat on Lake Cayuga
I have a horn that goes 'Ay-oohgah!'
I'm not the modern kind of creep
Who has a horn that goes 'beep beep.'"
I found this poem, on page 565, to be kind of funny, random, but also descriptive. You get that they are on a boat, and they even make the noise that the horn makes. They don't go into describing the noise, they straight out tell you what noise it is. Also when discribing the 'creeps' horn, they also don't try to describe it, they just straight out tell you the noise also. I found this poem just to be so random and kind of meaningless to me. If I were someone who owned a boat at that the time, the different kinds of horns might stand for something higher. Such as, what kind of boat they have or the quality of boat. Perhaps the 'creep' is a 'wanna-be' boat, trying to be the bigger, better boat.
