I think if Huck had tried it now
He wouldn’t get far anyhow.
Jim wouldn’t see the closing banks.
Opportunity in the open would be
a moment of thanks.
I think if we tried it now
We wouldn’t get far anyhow.
With the rules, the regs, and the fines
It’s worse than getting tangled up in vines.
Yet the river’s always the River Hope.
One of the best poems you have ever written! Of course, I tweeted this one.
(blush) Thank you!
