The Roller Coaster

As a lad of only fourteen, I had a major fear;

The roller coasters terrified me, but I dared not tell my peers!

One day we went on a class outing, to a large amusement park;

We got there in the afternoon and were staying till it was dark!

We went crazy on the Bumper Cars, the impacts snapped our heads;

Then there was something frightful looming, that ride I’d always dread!

Sure enough my pals all headed there, with weakened knees me too!

Then all of a sudden there it stood, my nemesis in full view!

The line was long to wait to ride, but that was okay with me;

Yet I told them that I could not wait, when really in my pants I had to pee!

Then it was time to get into the beast, that would climb the mountain tracks;

I promised God I would do anything, if he would safely get me back!

As we rose to heights I closed my eyes, and prayed for my return;

For two minutes then I held my breath, until finally it adjourned!

I told my friends that it was great, then I heard their laughs and rants;

They said “If you really loved it as much you say, what’s that stain in back your pants”?
