The Ride In the Sky
“Click clack click clack we go
Onwards and upwards ever so slow
Eyes wide open pulse pounding
Tension mounts fear rising
Click clack click clack up the tracks
Too late now no turning back
Wind swirling through our hair
How much higher do we dare
The crest is approaching the end is near
Staring up at the sky oh how did we get here
Click clack click clack…STOP
Movement ceases there is a pause
Then slowly we ease over and suddenly fall
People screaming hands in the air
The speed is astounding but no one cares
Then several curves suddenly appear
Round we go left-right-left in a flash
Straight into a cork screw then out we dash
Twisting turning climbing looping flying to the top
Upside down now…Then comes THE DROP
Wind rushing past my ears pasting my face
Can’t hear your screams as downward we race
One last twist one last rise then slowly we come to a stop
We exit the car hands shaking knees weak
You grasp my arm and kiss my cheek
Oh that was fun can we do it again you ask
Goodness yes I say I LOVE to go fast
Back in line for one more time”
