Crazy Coaster
My peers claim this ride is fun, I disagree.
I have been dreading this moment all day long
The coaster looms in the back, waiting for me.
Gingerly stepping in the cart, feeling wrong.
The clacking of the chain makes me want to pee.
At the top of the lift, I know to stay strong.
The strength of speed, greater than that of a jet-
A crazy ride, me and my friends won’t forget.
