Abusement Park by Kenn Nesbitt

We went to an amusement park,
my family and I.
We rode on rides so scary,
I expected I would die.

We rode a roller coaster
called The Homicidal Comet.
It had so many loop-de-loops
it nearly made us vomit.

We rode The Crazed Tornado,
and it jerked us hard and quick.
If it were any longer,
we would certainly be sick.

We rode The Psycho Octopus,
which packed a nasty punch.
I think we’re pretty lucky
that we didn’t lose our lunch.

And last we rode repeatedly
The Flailing Tilt-a-Whirl.
It shook us all so sharply,
I’m surprised we didn’t hurl.

I haven’t felt that nauseous
since I can’t remember when.
I’m really looking forward
to the day we go again.

How Many Doofuses Does It Take to Screw In a Lightbulb? Ken Nesbitt
http://www.gigglepoetry.com/poem.aspx?PoemID=34&CategoryID=2
One to bring the hammer,
One to start the drill,
One to haul the ladder,
One to hold it still.
One to buy a light bulb,
One to drop and break it,
One to buy another,
One to stop and shake it.
One to say: "It’s good!"
One to say: "It’s not!"
One to stop the argument.
One to mark the spot.
One to call the neighbor,
One to lend the wrench,
One to wash the ceiling,
One to move the bench.
One to build a scaffold,
One to test its strength,
One to measure height,
One to measure length.
One to bring the iodine,
One to call the doc,
One to flick the switch—
And one to take the shock.

Love of Reading

I'm the kind of person who just loves to read anything! My personal favorite types of stories or books are murder/mystery, stories where police investigate crimes (CSI books, etc), thriller stories (The Big Bad Wolf, Judge and Jury), any stories about mysteries or if any, maybe vampires, there is usually a good vampire story out there! What's even more creative: if you enjoy writing, write your own stories! In high school English, each student had to write a short story for our portfolio, and they told us that if our stories were good enough, they would publish them. I remember the story I wrote, it was about 2 cops who had to investigate a mob hit in Colorado. I'm the kind of person who enjoys writing, reading, looking at tropical island poetry, I'm your basic, average beat-nik hippie, I guess. Poetry I enjoy reading as well, mainly Island tropical poetry, I just enjoy the simple things in life, reading, writing, you name it. I do enjoy reading, whether it be a vampire story, good murder/mystery story, police investigation story, anything. I'm even the type to write short stories and keep them to read. It may sound weird, but I do have a very overactive imagination.
