The Failford Falls

THE FAILFORD FALLS

If by the River Ayr you stroll, from Mauchline to Mossblown
And winter light is fading fast, you might wish you'd stayed at home
But if it is the 29th of February (Leap Year)
You may hear a noise, like great Neptune's voice,
As Failford village nears.

The Fairy Failford Falls are high, with spray and noise like thunder.
Much higher than the Angel Falls; the Failford Falls fall further.
Victoria and Niagara Falls, though high, do not compare
To the Failford Falls, in between the walls,
Of the gorge in the River Ayr.

SO, if by kayak you intend, to paddle down to Stair,
And if it is a full moon night in February, BEWARE.
Don't take a chance, unless you know, that it is not Leap Year,
Or the odds are; you (and your kayak, too),
Will just simply disappear

The Fairy Falls at Faiford are a sight not to be missed,
But you and I both know the Falls at Failford don't exist
