Alfred Berggren Poet Rhyme

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
