Rock "N" Roller Coaster

I Remember going to Disney and riding the Rock “N” Roller Coaster.
Waiting in line seemed to last forever,
but the ride lasted two minutes.
Rocketing from 0 to 60 in less then a minute, feeling the wind
snapping my hair like a whip.
My teeth were as cold as ice cubes from smiling the whole time.
The ride was as dark as a Kansas storm cloud.
The flashing lights lit up the ride like lightning strikes.
The loud music shook my body like thunder.
I didn’t scream, I didn’t get sick, I’m ready to ride it all over again.
