THE FIRST RIDE
My palms became sweaty,
As I stepped into the station.
I sat down in the coaster train,
And felt a strong fear sensation.
Slowly we began to move ahead,
And we were making the first turn.
We soon connected to the lift,
Then my stomach started to really churn.
As we reached the top of the hill,
My fear of height became more severe.
I got a peek over the top,
And I might have shed a tear.
All of a sudden we accelerated,
Over that huge first drop.
About then I figured out,
I never wanted to stop!
Up and down, up and down,
I had never experienced such a glorious thing.
We went completely out of control,
With every hill came a wonderful upswing.
Too soon the ride had come to an end.
The joy of roller coasters
Was no longer beyond my ken.
Afterwards, I only had one thing to say:
"Dad, can we please do it again?"
