Skinny Bridge Poem in Amsterdam

A poem written by Cheryl Beer on the canals of Amsterdam

It is said that if you kiss your loving whilst passing under skinny Bridge, you will marry him and love each other forever!

Skinny Bridge

There are 88 beautiful bridges

But only one is skinny with love

If he turns to another

I wouldn’t bother

His heart isn’t true enough

There are 88 beautiful bridges

But one stays clear my head

If he won’t kiss me there

I’ll leave myself bare

And sail with another instead

We saw the 8 beautiful bridges in a scattered row. Now there’s a tongue twister in Dutch!

Achtentachtig practige grachten!
