I will admit that this is true, and about me ... but I was inspired to write this little fun poem because I was inspired by Walt's poem about 6 Flags and Sunshine's poem about her merry-go-round. Thanks you two! I really enjoyed those!  *~* Pass The Adrenaline Please! While most will find me meek and quiet, hiding 'neath a shell, There lurks a nature, opposite … not often, do I tell; The days roll on, I shuffle by, pretending who I am, While deep inside, a fire burns, that few may comprehend. A little quirk of fate I think … so quiet and demure, But give me spring and something hits, and I can't find the cure! I get an itch, it starts within, then travels through me whole, Until I have to satisfy that need within my soul. It's time to dust off running shoes, forsake those workday heels, And pump some life back into me, by seeking bigger thrills; I need my yearly fix to quench this thirst to set me free, A little something that will squash the doldrums out of me. I have a vice, I'll now confess, it hits me every spring, I am a ride-fanatic … I will do most anything!!! No ordinary roller-coaster will dissolve my need, I want the height, I want the fear, the danger and the speed! I've ridden all the rides that make my hair stand up on end, From loop-de-loops to upside down, I revel in the bends! I've sailed upon the ripples of the steepest water flumes, And left my stomach at the top of "Elevator's Doom". I've bungy-jumped from tower cranes, I've grinned while falling free, I've parasailed five hundred feet above the wavy sea; I simply cannot get enough … that rush that powers through, The one that makes me feel alive, for nothing else will do! I want the wind across my face, the G-Force in my chest, The thrill of graceful speed and swiftness putting me to the test; I need to feel adrenaline, just pumping through my veins, I want to soar above the clouds, unhindered by constraints! Perhaps when God created me, he made a small mistake, On order, was a pair of wings … .they just arrived too late!  /Kit McCallum [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 04-20-2001).] |

Kit~ This is soooooo much fun ! Now you've got me caught up in the excitement of it all. I've para-sailed exhilarated~ Hot Air Ballooned in style~ Glider-Planed 'cross a silent sky~ and loved it all the while. Give me adventure in great big doses~ Causing my heart to pump~ My next challenge to myself is~ YEP ... a free-fall jump !  *On tap for this summer~ Thank you for sharing your derring-do ! Yep ! ... me too ! *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Although I don't share in your adrenalin rush... as far away as I can I stay from such scarey things..... But its so true, we all portray to be something we are not and have a little something hidden inside. By the way Kit, thanks for all your encouraging words. Hugs.. Fee Expressions, |
