Eight-line Poems

Fairer Ground

Fairer Ground

Never been on a roller coaster,
hope I never will;
of thrills and spills I’m not a boaster
and take my pleasures still.

You can say that I should brave the dare,
throw caution out the door,
but safety takes a little care -
that’s why I’m seventy-four!
