The River Twins

​

​

Canal was overflowing

The towpath part submerged

And just when all seemed bleak for us

A biking pair emerged

Twin brother river bailiffs

Their names - Peter and Paul

We needed information

And these two knew it all

They gave us the directions

To reach a nearby lane

We called up Elite Taxis

And Ali quickly came

To Aldermaston taken

Our route to find close by

The onward pathway there rejoined

 Which thankfully was dry.
