And the falkirk wheel goes huf lifts the boat rotates bighuge arms and carries the boat from like the union canal (that comes from embra) to like the forthandclyde canal (that comes from glesga) cradles the boat from canal to canal then - egh! Drops it. No even a splash just: rippleripple. Ooh thanks goes the boat, no problem says the huge falkirk wheel standin proudbighonest gainst the grey falkirk sky, hands on hips big giant.
