A Roller Coaster Ride - a Comparison Poem

Up and down, up and down

 

It's the pull of gravity isn't it?

 

You're down longer than you're up

 

Isaac said it best

 

It's easier going up

 

Slow, steady

 

But coming down is frightful

 

Fast, quick

 

No time to prepare

 

Up and down, up and down

 

The unsteadiness is making you sick 

 

You're screaming

 

It's uncomfortable

 

You wanna get off

 

But you can't (you know what I mean?)

 

There's no where to go

 

YOU HAVE TO RIDE IT OUT!
