We are told it is “The Stairway to Heaven”
21 locks on the Grand Union
Really helpful if you have a crew of seven
And certainly, no place for a reunion
Open one, close another
How do you keep count?
You are so tired you need your Mother
21 locks to surmount
Strangers walk by and are amazed
Words of support and encouragement
The tasks we perform can make them dazed
As we climb the stairway without impediment
What is the wonder of the canals?
It certainly makes all users pals
And makes you feel like a Knight
when you have conquered Hatton Flight.
