Poetry (Verse) by Gavin R Walker - staffa

Roller-coaster Wrinklies


Up and up, still going up -

When will we get to the top?

Here we are now - O – O - we're going down!

Is this ride ever to stop?


Open your eyes, look, enjoy -

This is what having fun means,

Better than dancing or strolling the prom -

I feel I'm back in my teens!


What have you got on your heads,

Viking horns, Kiss-me-quick hat -

Come, don't you think you look silly my dears?

Dafter than wearing a cap.


Coastering wrinklies are we.

In Blackpool, we let down our hair.

Others play bingo or waltz in the Tower,

But we love the fun of the fair.
