Roundabout

Back and forth the swings steadily fly
Hear the laughter as the children cry
Leap off the seat at the highest point
Giving stress to the heart and ankle joint

Push yourself harder when you climb back on
Ride ever higher, graceful as a swan
To and fro, never going anywhere
Do you mind though, do you care

I never liked just forward and back
Up and down the same old track
Whilst I'd occasionally ride on the odd swing
They were never truly my thing

Spinning faster and faster, world just a blur
Screams melting in to one long loud slur
As it slows down, the laughter bursts out
Relieved you survived, which was always in doubt

Look up at the skies to push yourself more
And the clouds twist even faster than before
Whirling and twirling, never going anywhere
Do you mind though, do you care

I've always loved going round and round
Feet dangling over, skimming the ground
I can't wait to ride every roundabout
Just listen as I spin, I scream, and I shout
