Pidgin poem about wondrous canal lock

 

canal-boat nudge

into hill

not budge

 

nose

into tall slot

back-gate close

 

water spill

from top

slot fill

 

boat

up and up

float

 

to top

front gate

boat stop

 

man shout

gate open

boat go out.

 

miracle?...Yup!

water down

boat up

Have you done the Caen Flight Harry? Ecstacy!
Not far from me. Smug.

All right!
So this re-titled whittled-down oldie is not an epic!

(But it`s hot and I`ve just woke up)
