ROLL ON RIVER

The Tennessee River named the “Whirl And Suck.”
It will pull you under if you run out of luck.
Its raging waters will take you down stream.
But don't try it upstream for it's very mean.

Roll on river, roll fast as you can.
It flows to the Ohio, it's strong and it's grand.
But if you're just sight seeing, you'd better buckle in.
Roll on river, you'll remember where you've been.

The boat starts flopping when you hit its whirls and sucks.
You'll wonder why you didn't drive your old pickup truck.
When you come to rapids you will slam against its walls.
I know you will be praying just before you hit the falls.

Roll on river, there's power in your punch.
Many men have died for testing you too much.
If you go out rafting have your will signed and stamped.
Roll on Tennessee River, for me you're way too damp.

Too damp and maybe even a few earth bound spirits meandering around. :) Makes it appear scarey to me. Yikes!

One tiny notation because I think you care:

its (Adjective)
Adjective:

Belonging to or associated with a thing previously mentioned or easily identified: "turn the camera on its side".

Belonging to or associated with a child or animal of unspecified sex: "a baby in its mother's womb".

As opposed to it's which is the contraction of it is. :)

Thank you,

Tim

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
