The Monster

I rode the monster at the amusement park With some trepidation I locked in my seat, Took deep breaths while starting to embark And, thought about lying to others how neat. A steep climb upward enhanced my anxiety I rode the monster at the amusement park, As we crested the top, it challenged my piety With a jerk, it earned its moniker trademark. Just over the crest I had a new second spark Of regret that I had ever mounted this beast I rode the monster at the amusement park No one could ever call me a coward, at least! From that point on, I can’t remember a thing Except the screams, the rush of air, a stark Unabated terror, a stomach-in-mouth feeling I rode the monster at the amusement park.

This reminds me of the last time I rode on a roller coaster - and this will be the last time. I had no idea they go upside down two or three times now.

Oh my! It has been years since I rode one, but I certainly will never do it again. That's one positive assertion I can make without reservation.

Lol, when we were last over in Florida I had to take the grandsons on the rides, my heart missed a few beats I can tell you. Tom
