Seat in the clouds

Seated peacefully

Feet gently lifted

As we ascended

Towards the tree tops

Suddenly my stomach

Somersaulted midair

Now unsure of this ride

That was dangling my chair

Terrified white

Nobody said I’d be scared

Nice gently treetop ride

Not!

Seated in the chair

We continued to climb

Up the mount

Far from fear frozen

I yelled loudly

Let me off

Not at the top

I mean now

I was on 12

Expected the operator

To stop the ride

Helping me to safety

It never occurred

That was not feasible

I was climbing this thing

Whether I liked it or not

On reaching the peak

Poor legs wobbled

As my seat passed by

I quickly sat on the ground!
