Haiku 2007

Fear'd by many, known by all,

The 2-0-7 is nowhere near small.

The metal snake courses like ivy through trees,

And happily freaks out its guests, if you please.

The red ribbon pierces the tranquil blue sky,

And shoots out of sight in the blink of an eye.

The sunlight shimmers on water below

As we dive toward the surface... What's this?! OH NO!

We pull out of the fall, inches from doom,

Half-expecting to hear a giant sonic boom.

Our heart rates quicken, our spines are compressed,

Never wishing to end, never wanting to rest.

We sigh with relief as the end draws near,

But we jump back in line, craving more of this fear,

This fear -- so driven, so solid, so pure,

That we stretch our limits to feel us endure.

------------------------------------------

Whatever facts, or info we can dig,

I'm sure of one thing -- it's gonna be BIG.

You forgot the part about the water.

MrScott

I'm assuming you mean the (hopeful) water effects.

Eh... there's always another poem to fit it into. ;)

Thanks guys, it actually only took like 10 or 15 minutes. I couldnt spend much more time than that on a post, not worth it. Cedar Dan, Nice work man most excellent.

Thanks. Same amount of time it took me, too. :) Surprisingly easy... almost pathetic.

"Gee, what rhymes with eye?" *rolls eyes*

Today I was in a suburban Philly mall (King of Prussia) and in one of the kids' areas they had one of those old-school arcade contraptions from Cedar Point that allows a person to "ride" either the Corkscrew, Gemini or Blue Streak. I couldn't believe my eyes, but I didn't want to start a new thread about me waxing nostalgic over random run-ins with Cedar Point memorabilia in eastern Pennsylvania.

That said, ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the worst limerick ever:

The spot of old White Water Landing

(the flume that is no longer standing)

will provide traffic flow

to a path needing mo'

attraction for peoples' demanding.

*insert groan here*

That wasn't half bad. At least it was intended to be humourous. ;)

Ok limericks it is!

-GREASED LIGHTNING-

There once was a coaster on-point,

That caused pain in ev-er-y joint.

So they gave it some grease,

And with the greatest of ease.

Its now a coaster that wont dissapoint!

------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the new stricter saftey precautions at the park...

- SAFTEY -

Just think of the stories we'd tell,

If we weren't fastened in oh so well.

As the ride hurtled towards the water,

Out flew Kinzel's daughter.

And then the park he did sell.

-----------------------------------------------------
- The Insider -

There once was a man on a hill,

Whos job was to sell Lemon Chill.

When he told us all,

Id be 500 feet tall.

We all exclamed "What a thrill!".
----------------------------------------------------

Anyone else with some great poetry?

That's another good one imo.

Suck up with your wallet and buy a red cross spot.

M any pieces coming together as one.
A nother shiny coaster reaches for the sun.
V elocity increases as you speed down the track.
E veryones hands up, and all their heads back.
R olling and looping, and swooping its way,
I nto a helix, then spirals away.
C an this be just what were waiting for?
K eep posted right here, and youre sure to hear more!

Allow me to show you the contents of my wallet. I guarantee you the mother of laughs to end your weekend. ;)

Steve4Hockey, kudos on the fine efforts. I was going to contribute something else, but your stuff is just too good to compete with.

Back to Haiku fun

Front seat, Dragster launch...

"arms down", bystanders staring...

god i have to pee pee

Hey cdrptrks,

Like your signature you should submit it to Mastercard for their commercial contest.

When the new ride is announced

and we hear those sweet words

i'll be thrilled to the bone

when we lose all you nerds.

Was that too harsh?
