Incline Antics:
Pittsburgh's incline, so steep and grand,
I took a ride, hat in hand.
But then I tripped on narrow stair,
And nearly tumbled through the air!
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In Pittsburgh, joy's no surprise.
From city's height to river's cheer,
Pittsburgh's laughter's always near.

Pittsburgh's steel, so strong and bright,
I took a tour, felt the might.
But then I tripped on factory floor,
And tumbled down with quite a roar.
The workers laughed and helped me rise,
In Pittsburgh, joy's no surprise.
