A Walk Across the Forth Bridge

Thursday morning Day aff Time to have a think... Down the M9 To Edinburgh And walk across the Forth Bridge. In the car It's not very far Only 26 miles, Last day of sun A'fore it rains a ton Time for a few wee smiles. Wind in hair We must be there Across the Firth of Forth, Batteries charge As the bridge looms large So does the presence of the Lord. Forth rail bridge The diesel sings As trains float over its tracks, The red tinged steel Matches the sun's feel As it works on our head and backs. The path looks long The curve rolls on Approaching Queensferry north, Cable and steel Engineering congealed On the magnificent Firth of Forth. The bird's eye view With the seagull crew Reveal the Firth's glory, Where the bridges float With the sailing boats On this Edinburgh prairie. Clock turns one The walk is done We leave the water and lorries, Waste some time Write another rhyme As my wife and I smell the coffee.
