The Crinan Canal
by Joyce Schofield (2018)
The Crinan Canal cut a straight line
From the Atlantic thru to Loch Fyne
It saved many a sailor from a fate truly dire
A treacherous voyage round the Mull of Kintyre
The Crinan Canal is different today
Two hundred years on it has a new role to play
It's a haven for kayaks and luxury yachts
And Japanese tourists taking selfie stick shots
The Crinan Canal's a sight to behold
A waterway wonder from days of old
But in Twenty Nineteen its main pulling power
Is to slow modern life down to four knots an hour
The Crinan Canal cut a straight line
From the Atlantic thru to Loch Fyne
If you wanted to go there but don't have the time
Just google the Crinan and visit on-line
