Meeting of the Waters
Amazon & Rio Negro Rivers
Manaus, Brazil
Manaus Harbor

The Rio Negro and Amazon both start out a small stream
But are huge when they meet and look like coffee and cream.
Those who flew home from Manaus did wait,
For the bus was a no show,  rather than late.
So taxis were summoned to pick up the slack
And the passengers piled into each small little hack.
The rest took a walk through the market and such,
To buy lots of stuff that didn't cost very much.
Manaus was a city where fast food did abound
And one of the few places fat people were found.
