Winter in the Falls

January 22, 2015

Visiting the falls in January was a first for me
Even with the snow, it's still nice to see

Tourist traffic has come to a virtual halt
Yet that hasn't slowed the spreading of salt

The application of sodium chloride is anything but light
They put down so much that it turns the ground white

Visitors are milked for everything but their keys
If you want a closer view, that will be four quarters please

When the weather gets warmer, the coins will again be rolling in
To help reduce the massive debt racked up by Premier Wynne

Passing this blue moose while walking up Clifton Hill, it's quite the hike
Pray tell, why are there no places to lock up a bike?

The falls has become a popular destination for this new area resident
I'll be making more visits for reasons that are quite evident
