BRIDGES

1 I like a bridge -

2 Any kind of bridge at all.

3 A great steel bridge

4 With towers stiff and tall;

5 An old covered bridge

6 That spans a waterfall;

7 A hewn-stone bridge

8 Wtih its rugged floor and wall;

9 A railroad bridge

10 Where freight trains slowly crawl;

11 A wooden bridge,

12 Açement bridge,

13 Whether big or small;

14 Yes, I like a bridge -

15 Just any kind of bridge at all.

[James S. Tippett]

Bridges

I like the bridge.

No matter what kind of bridge

With tall, sturdy towers

Whether it's a great steel bridge,

Crossing over the waterfall

Whether it's a roof or an old bridge

With rough walls

Whether it's a stone bridge,

Freight trains are slow.

Whether it's a railroad crossing or a bridge,

Wooden bridge?

The concrete bridge is hidden.

Big or small, it doesn't matter.

Yes, I really like the bridge.

Whatever bridge you like...

[ Janes St. Pat ]
