rickety-rickety-rickety-rick I feel the jolts built in the climb. the iron grips the wooden track steadfast journey to the top-- I'm shaking as I write. click-click-click picks up the pace to the top for the best part where the bottom will fall out I take my hands from safety bar praying for a cloud this tall clickety-click-click Let me out. I want to ride again. |

Life is like a roller coaster The slow climb To freefall down the ups and downs Through the twists and turns Till the ride is over Nice write Gloom |

I was on a rollercoaster once. The girl that went with me told me she'd been on before and it was safe. She lied! She had never been on before and by the end of the ride she was clutching me and crying hysterically that she wanted to get off. I was both scared and angry! I hate scary rides. Give me the merry-go-round any day. I think this poem is not about rollercoasters but about life. Some of us like it slow and easy. Some like it with lots of thrills.  |

I have a token! Can I ride? And will you hold my hand? Huh, will ya', will ya?  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
