Frisby Mill Lock


There're worse places to be, you can be sure, that there are
In some parallel existence, that's neither juxtaposed, or afar
But here, elsewhere doesn't matter, when you're taking stock
As the waters, cascade through, the disused, Frisby Mill lock

There are better places to be, probably, but they are not here
Stood at ease, upon this bridge, above the cacophonous weir
Its feeder river is obvious and gentle, the meandering Wreake
But here, this man-made tributary, likes to play, hide and seek
