Read together
In a bight so green and bright,
A bend in the brook takes flight,
Flowing through the bayou's path,
And arroyo's rocky bath.
A basin, deep and wide,
A bay with waves to ride,
A bog where frogs do play,
And canal boats on display.
A cataract cascades down,
A channel where fish abound,
All connected, all unique,
Nature's wonders, so mystique.
So explore each waterway,
Discover the beauty on display,
From the bight to the brook,
Let your imagination cook.
Talk about it
