Niagara Falls

NIagara Falls of great distinction Cascading waters with swirling deep spray Thunderous motion with dropping action To find place below where huge grey rocks lay See the barrel that person inside rides They go for the glory and fame this day Floating safe to the edge it gently glides And it’s highth of foolishness some do say Maybe it survives in prime condition Danger is what makes all observers stay Life to death can be rider’s transition As barrel falls there’s hope and some do pray That no bad thing comes to tumbling oak drum It could be dashed to pieces and it may Will another pay the price paid by some And it’s highth of foolishness some do say

Nor would I. I don't think I'm that brave.

They are magnificent in their beauty and power. Not sure I'd want to go over them in a barrel. Nice poem, Alfred:)
