Grand Canyon Jump

This is an ode to Sally-Jo,
Her silver spurs and the horse she rode,
As their mighty leap slowly unwound
They jumped the Grand Canyon in a single bound,
But it was deemed wind assisted as a hurricane blowed.

You & your hubby should be ok Jan. Sally-Jo was that upset with the wind assisted judgement that she has sworn never to jump it again. At the moment she is in Australia preparing to jump Sydney Harbour. Thanks Jan-glad you enjoyed it. Kind regards---John

The first Evil Knievel, perhaps? Fun verse, John. Regards, Viv
