Chinaman tell of miraculous conquest of gravity by Rochdale canal lock
Boat at bottom of hill.
Nose
Into stone canyon,
Gate behind close.
Water slump
Into stone canyon
Boat lift,
Bump-
Nudge top gate,
Man shout
Gate open
Boat go out.
Canyon fill.
Us up hill.
Magic?...yup.
Water down, us up.
For Winston`s canal collection

A great poem for the canal collection, Harry! Hope this ends up pinned to a lock gate somewhere
