Riding the Tilden Carousel to the Past

38 lines

When Sam Adams
Was a young lad
In Berkeley California


He decided it was a good idea
To smoke a joint
While riding the Tlden Park Carosoul
Sam Adams said
What the hey
And partook

The Tilden Park Carouse
Was an old fashioned Carouse
Dating back to the 1900
Before Tilden Park
Was established.

This was back
When smoking a joint
Could end up
With you spending time
In the joint

Especially if you were
Of the non-white persuasion
White boys usually got off

as they rode the ride
they entered into a time wrap

due to the after effects
of a secret Time Machine Experiment
being conducted at the near by
Lawrence Hall of Science
At the Cal Campus

when they got off the ride
they found they were back
in 1900 Berkeley
having riden the ride
on opening day.
.
On June 16th, 1884, the first roller coaster in the U.S., the "Switchback Railway", opened to customers on Coney Island.

For tomorrow, write a poem or story which takes place on a roller coaster.

Due June 16th, 2023 before noon, WdC time. === ( Deadline: 21 hours 37 minutes 17 seconds )

Riding the Matterhorn while Smoking a Joint


40 lines

When Sam Adams
Was a young lad
In Berkeley California

He went on a senior class trip
To the southland
To Disneyland

They were all about to graduate
A final spring fling
Eight-hour bus ride
Four hours at the park
Riding back the next day

Several of his classmates
Decided it was a good idea
To smoke a joint
While riding the Matterhorn

Sam Adams said
What the hey
And partook

When they got off the ride
Slightly high
The Disney internal security cops
Were all over the place
Looking for the culprits
Not amused at all

This was back
When smoking a joint
Could end up
With you spending time
In the joint

Especially if you were
Of the non-white persuasion
White boys usually got off

Fortunately for them
The Disney cops ever found
Who had violated
The no-smoking a joint
Rule in the park
