Max and Alton Towers
Little Max to Alton towers did go,
He went with his granddad, who some trains did want to show.
He loves his trains does Maxy, his excitement was mounting fast
Until he went on the “Runaway Train” then even his granddad was aghast.
The train set off WOO, WOO said Max, enjoying every minute
Until the speed picked up and he could hardly hang on in it.
Granddad hugged him close and tight
And looked at his little face, all screwed up in fright,
Then he found it was a reflection
Of Granddads, own pale complexion.
They clung together through all the dipping and the diving
Granddad trying to be brave, and Max not be depriving.
Woo, Woo, went Max but in quieter voice,
He didn’t really like this choice.
As the ride slowed down to stop, relief in Max and Granddad grew,
But oh they were in for a shock, when a second time round it flew.
A smiling Granddad holding tight to Max, he was trying to look so brave and strong
I don’t think I like this granddad, I think you have got this wrong.
Then the ride came thankfully to a stop,
Granddad lifted Max down, who to his knees did drop.
Thank you granddad that was good, but please make me a promise
I’m not sure I’ll believe it’s good, you can call me a doubting Thomas.
I’m sorry Max it was in, fun and I promise, and this is law,
I won’t take you on a train again, until you are at least the age of four.
