Amusement Park

This ride costs 7 tickets

Oh sweet darling
You know you have me
I am going to ride along with you
I am still scared from the last ride
I trust you are on my side
Hold me tight
Lest I die of fright
This one seems really really fast
How long can I last
That sweet smile on your face
Makes the fear go away
Without a trace

Love is a roller coaster. You take the rough with the smooth. Sounds as though your last ride left you more than ruffled. Seven tickets doesn't sound like a budget ride. Are you worth seven tickets?

Chris

[LostSage]

Yes I'm worth 7 tickets... but if no one is looking I will let you in for free. Have a great day! jeff

[Zoe Richardson]

Dang. I only have six tickets. The guy at the Ferris wheel gave me the wrong change. Will you accept a bribe? And be careful of this particular ride. I've been on it, and I advise you wear protective gear and keep your hands and arms inside the car.

[LostSage]

A kiss on the cheek gets you in darling. shhh.... don't tell anyone

[Zoe Richardson]

Mwah! And here's some cotton candy, just because I like you!

[LostSage]

Omg! you know how easy it would be to write a song for you, how does this sound so far.... "A Kiss and Cotton Candy" that goes straight to number one darling. wow you knock my socks off. have an exquisite day darling. jeff

[Zoe Richardson]

A kiss and cotton candy and a ride on the Tilt-A-Whirl... (your turn!)

[LostSage]

tilt-a-whirl that's the ride where we can't help but to get pushed up against each other. I wanna be pushed up against you. then I want a kiss. then I want some cotton candy. oh my. what is happening to me? something wonderful.

[Zoe Richardson]

I hope it's not just the ride making me so vertiginous!

[LostSage]

vertiginous? wow that's a long word... it makes me dizzy

[Zoe Richardson]

Try not to look down. It helps.

[LostSage]

You!!! you're just so... so... so you!!! don't tell me what to do... I will look down all I want! welcome to Jeff independence day. enjoy the fireworks.

[Zoe Richardson]

Okay. You can look up, down, sideways, and out the back of your head, if possible. It's not like I can reach in an control your eyeballs! I only mentioned it because it would be a shame for you to fall and go splat after such a brief acquaintance...

[LostSage]

oh how nice of you not to control my eyeballs. aren't you just so generous. and yep I go splat once in a while... just for fun... you got problem with that? the complaint line starts down the street around the corner... take a number I will get to you as soon as I can. have a nice day

[Zoe Richardson]

I don't have a complaint. I need the Lost And Found. I think I've lost my marbles...

[LostSage]

please stay with me we can find our way together instead of alone

[Zoe Richardson]

Can you help me find my lost sense of youthful idealism? Or how about my patience? That seems to have gone to heck in a handbasket.

[LostSage]

I know you hate mushy so kiss off

[Zoe Richardson]

Which part?

I like the metaphor here...takes me back to my childhood in NY and the days we spent at Coney Island.
love can certainly be like an amusement park roller coaster...or perhaps the ferris wheel where we might get a better perspective of our life.
