In response to the daily post prompt Bridge

Wonderful pieces of engineering
traversing the great canal waterway
passing across them on a daily basis
I marvel at the way they work
Some, they lift until weights stop,
and some turn round as ferry anchors drop
but without them the canal would make travellers cross
and with no trade to speak of – it would be quite a loss.
