Poem
Rollercoaster On The Scenery Life rolled along on another day’s roller coaster Two steel rails and rubber wheels forged the way Speeding along a narrow path from mountain top Shadowing the vast lake below in green Left bank is scenic with the pines The right side is a wall of rock and ice As you race into the tunnel entrails Carved out by man by way of nature An abundance of mountain to be sculpted It meanders onward winding in the dark and wild Two moving seats secure with rails and grips Accompany you through Gripping tight the bar along the waist What seems like hours in the mountain cavity When you come out the other side Sun smacks you blindly in the eyes An eighty degree drop takes your fall Miles fly by while twisting on the wind Faster than the speed of sound in screams and fear Roller coaster has no mind or recollections Knows only one direction, to be very mean When on the side of mountain going down Clinging on the cart and falling far The best of scenery to be seen Is in the blinking of an eye that quickly passes Brakes would be nice to view the other side of life Would make life more interesting Take you places unforeseen at lesser speeds Strange sights below sea level come on the rapid waters Two coaxial cable cords replace the rails Gliding under lake, as coaster goes on faster still, adding to the thrill And tunnel under water opens up Made of clear plastic tubing, to view the lake another way Racing through, the fish look down, look back at you To the other side where you emerge Another country now appears with rolling hills Takes you up and down upon the land again Through fields of grain and sanity Red poppies wave as cart and you fly by Rages on into tomorrow Rolls on to other days with thrills and smiles In the distance rising is a small silver disc Growing in size as you approach, directly in your path It is a giant metal spring and disc like bumper; hold on fast! The ride hits this dead end dead on the disc Recoils back the spring with monumental force Folds back on itself, almost into the past Builds up momentum mighty, then Thrusts you and the coaster back from where it came But this time faster going backwards Coaxial cords both break as you fly off the track Escape along the coast line flowing on Which goes on forever by the shore Roller coaster rides above the waves Life rolls along, on another rollercoaster day
