Miss Callie's Boat Miss Callie's boat is long
and green.
When she rows by,
she makes a scene.

It has a horn
and headlights, too.
She sails the lake
with her big dog, Blue.

Miss Callie always
waves and smiles,
then rows and rows
for several miles.

She honks her horn,
dances and shakes.
I hope she does not
fall in the lake!

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
