Life is a Roller Coaster

Life is a rollercoaster.

The ride starts
Anticipation gathers
Biting your nails
Up, up, up
Finally to the top
The pit of your stomach
Climbs to your throat
Then falls through your toes:
Screaming in exultation,
You drop
Down, down, down,
On and on it crazily goes,
Up, down, up, down,
Loop-de-loop
Until finally it rolls to a stop.
And with regret,
You get off.

Life is a rollercoaster...
Enjoy the ride.
