The bright lights glitter when the sky goes dark

We scream and shout at the amusement park

Pink cotton candy plus big teddy bears

And superhero capes everyone wears

With giant rides that shoot through the sky

And photo booths for that cute girl and guy

Lines stretch on for miles but we join them still

Chattering away and seeking a thrill

Steel bars pulled down, we shared a nervous grin

The ride jerked forward; don't scream and you'll win

It climbed higher and I squeezed my eyes shut

I screamed as it dropped, not making the cut

We got off laughing. "How great!" we all say

That's when I know we'll be back soon one day

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
