The Cyclone rollercoaster
Was my medium of choice,
My arms held heavenward
And a macho thrust of voice.

Repeatedly I rode,
Outlasting all who vied
As my pals cheered lustily
And the sunblessed girls all sighed.

How long ago did that happen?
Now it's a different course,
And as I ride I'm belted
To a wooden horse.
