Karen and I are going to the State Fair of Texas on Monday. :-) We're getting to the age where we WATCH rather than ride. :-)


Poem Artwork

"MIDWAY"

That ride doesn't look too bad.
It's a billion miles high!
O, come on, it ain't that tall.
Then why does it scrape the sky?

That ride doesn't look too bad.
Then why's it goin warp-speed?
O, come on, it ain't that fast.
The speed limit it exceeds.

That ride doesn't look too bad.
It looks like it's gonna break!
O, come on, don't be foolish.
It's ratt'lin like a earthquake!

That ride doesn't look too bad.
It's goin upside-down-y!
O, come on.  'Sposed to do that.
That don't look like fun to me!

That ride doesn't look too bad.
If it don't, why don't YOU ride?
Ummm....errrrrrrrrr...I rode it last year.
I like my insides, INSIDE.

I love the rides myself, but I know my limits. You won't catch ME going on rides like the one featured in the picture...URRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPP~ that, or I would pass out (remember me on the "Twister"??)! Still, am looking forward to spending the day at the fair tomorrow; can't think of a better person to spend it with than YOU! You make life at the fair a BLAST!

Wonderful write; thanks for the memory jog! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

You'll never catch me in one of those rides. Better be a chicken and alive than a brave and dead.

Interesting write, Karla!

Great pen Karla. Brings back memories of growing up on a fair circuit. I used to stand by rides like these waiting on the cash to fall LOL.

Very good. Brings back memories of childhood, wanting to do it all. Now as an adult, seeing it all is enough! Have fun.

I know of those rides too, I like them alot, from the ground, watching...
The six flags up here in NJ is building a new roller coaster of some sort, supposed to go from 0-150 miles per hour in a span of 3 seconds, then from 150 to 0 in less time! What makes that fun, leaving your stomach and food in another place, only to catch up when you don't want it back? Enjoy your visit, pick the nice slow rides, like the merry go round and the little boats with bells or the choo choo with the whistle...LOL, Ed & Rufuz

Ah... laughing very loudly. Been there, done that! This is very good. I don't know if we slow down, or the rides speed up, but we all get there somehow. I enjoyed reading this.
