Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Wise Choice

Niagara Falls locals said

I'd hear the thundering noise first,

If I did continue ahead

On the river, and then the worst

If I'd hear nothing else at at all,

Because that meant over I went,

And that to my death I did fall,

Not a desired to do event.

So I got back in my canoe,

And down the river still did steer.

Then came to know what locals knew,

Loud thunder ahead I did hear.

If you are reading this you know

Another way I chose to go.
