River Walk Wobbles:

San Antonio's River Walk, so bright,
I took a stroll, what a sight.
But then I tripped on narrow path,
And splashed right in, what a bath!
The tourists laughed and helped me out,
In San Antonio, joy's about.
From river's flow to mission's cheer,
San Antonio's laughter's always near.

Alamo, a history bold,
I took a tour, stories told.
But then I tripped on ancient stone,
And landed flat, oh my bones!
The guides just laughed and helped me rise,
In San Antonio, joy's no surprise.
