...we used correlate the Merry-Go-Round with everything spinning out of control...perhaps the up and down upon a poled horse...would be considered a relaxing day in the park today.
well done Karla...

Reminds me of the poem by St Teresa...

Let nothing disturb thee;
Let nothing dismay thee;
All things pass:
God never changes.
Patience attains
All that it strives for.
He who has God
Lacks for nothing:
God alone suffices.

It has to stop sometime how true. A meaningful write, well done.

I think I am with your title, STOP THE WORLD AND LET ME OFF. I can feel my stomach turning as look at the picture. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs are on the way, Rose

For Some reason these rides were fun when I was young, but now, No Thanks...The longer you stay in one position, upright, on a daily basis, the harder it is to reverse your organs or something. The last time I tried a ride similiar, I lost my guts! Literally!
BUT! I still LOVE rollercoasters!
Fun pen!
Love and Peace~

The world's spinning so fast these days, we don't even need those rides to get sick and dizzy anymore.

I will reccomend to hang from a star (anyone of your choice) and let the world under ya to keep spinning as maddly as it wishes.

I don't think so, not for me, the most I want to see on the fair days is one of those ring toss games. LOL

Absolutely right. Everything is temporary. Patience conquers all. LOL! Good one, Karla.

A great write...life is like a carnival ride at times, it does seem to spin out of control and just when you think you can't take anymore...life slows down a bit...well done, I'm with on the ride..no thanks! Enjoyed!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

a good reminder that sometimes we just have to wait things out

As I said in my poem 'Rollercoaster'.... "I turn my head, puke on your shoes"
LOL. Actually I'm a rollercoaster NUTCAKE!!!! Can't get me off of them. Hubby turns green, but I want more!! More ,more, higher, higher, faster, faster..... Okay, guess you get my drift!
Lovely theme! **smiles**

I wouldn't mind riding "TopSpin"--course, I'd have to do some serrrrrrrrious watching beforehand and have LOTS of trouble trying to keep myself upright upon exiting said ride. I'd be doing the Shoulder Lean....LOL Like YOU coming off the Orbiter and the Storm, StormSpinner, hummmmmmmmmmm??? LOL You were walking sideways, like a little arachnid--and dragging ME along for the ride! LOL I don't think you'd do too well on this one--my fault. (AGAIN!) Remember "Twister"?? Nuff said!! LOL Excellent write and advice; think I'll keep me stomach where it belongs!! LOL

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twink, Karen Lynn. :D *BURRRRRRRRRRRP*

Hell, farris wheels were my scare . . . I'd ride the roller coasters, but farris wheels scared the hell out of me . . .

Try tell'n that to your stomach...whoa!!!!!

I went to Busch Gardens.

to ride their famous rollercoasters. I kept everything in my stonach but, since I couldn't close my mouth once we started G-force, I had every sordid type of critter splatted on my enamels.

I tasted them all day!

Love and blessings!
