Sea Can Shanty
by Dennis Hughes


During global pandemics
Near our homes we stay
But many products that we use
Are made quite far away 
The seaports they are all backed up
Shanghai to San Francisco
With all our breakfast cereals
From Kellogg’s to Nabisco

Sea containers in short supply
Cause constipated shipping
Many miles the bottle travelled
That you are now sipping
Cargo ships are quite costly
Buy local when you can
But when it comes to imports
On the docks stacks of sea cans

Sea cans - shipping containers
That ply the open sea
Stackable steel boxes that
Bring stuff to you and me
Cranes lift them onto freight trucks
That roll to your neighborhood
Sing the sea can shanty
An ode to foreign goods

From the Mediterranean
Come sardines and salami
Shipped across the Atlantic
To New York and Miami
Through the Suez Canal they go
To many baby boomers
And every generation of
American consumers

More products cross the Pacific
Than any other ocean
Giant ships from here to Asia
Ceaselessly in motion
Electronics and narcotics
From the Pacific Rim
Big box stores and shopping malls
All filled up to the brim

Sea cans - shipping containers
That ply the open sea
Stackable steel boxes that
Bring stuff to you and me
Cranes lift them onto freight trucks
That roll to your neighborhood
Sing the sea can shanty
It’s an ode to foreign goods
