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

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.
