Life Is Amusing


I went on a Ferris wheel that was named The Mountain Top,
it took me high, so high
Felt like I became a spirit in the sky
Then when it let me down so gently,
I whistled out a relieved sigh;
then laughed and shouted aloud, nothing scares me

I went on a roller coaster ride that was called The Demon Drop,
it took me up and down so fast
Felt like I was a spirit being down cast
Then when it came to a slow stop,
I involuntarily issued a relieved groan;
then cried and shouted aloud, I hope somebody has a mop

Life is so fascinating in every way,
you never know what's in store for you each day
Life can be like a carousel ride,
going in circles will take away all your pride

Ty, Cheryl. I was jut channeling my inner "Cheryl." You're the best at making humorous poem, dear friend. Just trying to make you laugh like you make all of us here at the Soup laugh. Glad you enjoyed it, dear. Love always.

Hi Freddie, I enjoyed the metaphors you used to express how "life" can be so amuzing. I agree life is amusing, so it's best that we make the most of it by living it to the fullest. Well done. :-) Alexis

Ty, Alexis. I used the amusement park as the metaphor setting for the title, "Life is Amusing." Appreciate your love and support, lady. Love and joy to you always.
