Why I hate Ferris Wheels - for Pop Poetry Contest
My Nemesis

My acrophobia is not a joke.
It keeps me on the ground while others fly.
Although I am a big and hairy bloke
when faced with umpteen steps, I'd sooner die.

Nobody understands the pain I feel
when wimpy kids run past me on the stairs.
The fear that grips my feet is all too real;
I'd rather face a wrestling match with bears.

But worst of all is at the summer fair —
enough to send me to my therapist —
the tallest, fastest rides for those who dare
and looming over those, my Nemesis.

The Ferris Wheel is taller than a tree.
That bloody thing is Hell on Earth for me!
