(on a volcano)

Cracked coaster ascends,
Thrill-seekers scream, joy unfolds,
Volcano's embrace.

On a roller coaster, what a sight to behold,
With crack and weakness, so daring and bold.
The maintenance crew, so calm and carefree,
They knew of the dangers, for all now to see.

Children screamed and shouted, filled with delight,
As the coaster dropped, oh, what a sight!
They rode with abandon, seeking that thrill,
On a volcano's side, against logic and will.

Structural flaws were no cause for concern,
For riders sought action, not ruinous burn.
The crack added joy, a delightful surprise,
Wild coaster that plowed those fiery skies.

Watching, serene, calm,
Cracked support’s slight shaking, Thrill's art,
unfazed, nonchalance
