The Walk Up

We decided today, to checkout Paradise Falls
Hidden in The King Valley, where we are camping of course,
A 20 minute round walk, yeh that what the sign said,
But whoever wrote that, was definitely off his head,

A spectacular sight, for your eyes to behold,
Two cascading waterfalls, from a height that's so bold,
They say it's 31 metres, over conglomerate rock,
But feeling dwarfed down the bottom, it's surely a crock,

Now heading down to the base, small step after step,
Realising that after the fun, you gotta head back up,
With amazing views, along the well kept track,
I'm glad I said, 'Shell let's give it a crack'

So after we're done, and the legs feel like jelly,
We stop at Cheshunt, for that pie in my belly,
Overall I can say, it was a top day all round,
But next time I'd prefer, to stay on a lot flatter ground.
