Grab on Tight

 render your ticket

hold onto your stub

keep any body parts

that you want to keep

inside your compartment

remain in your seat

for the entire ride

for your own safety

 

when the ride really

gets going full speed

you may get dizzy

you might even puke

but in the end it

will always be

a thrill to remember

I Think ...

this piece ought to be posted---in huge print, of course---at or near the beginning of every thrill ride at every county fair or carnival. Thanx for a fun read ... er, I mean ride. Chuck
