The River

A slack rope Funambulist enchants Screams my little daughter to delight Mad as a hatter, risks life to dangerous skills An idea that lives on for generations Adventure or poor man's livelihood, Daring dazzle across, The River !

Congratulations Upma! Swinging on ropes always attracts children (and grown-ups!), especially if there is the thrill of crossing over water. // paul

Congratulations for your win, Upma. It was more about the funambulist than about the river, but I really liked it, And by the way, I learned a new word. I always just knew it as tightrope walker!!
