ODE TO THE MERRY GO ROUND

I played on you growing up and had a bunch of fun

We did have to be careful

Because you were hot as shit after sitting in the sun

We spun and spun you round and round and then tried to jump on

Sometimes we made it and sometimes not

For years you were the best playground toy

You kicked the ass of many a girl and boy

Until the pansies took you out

And said you were too dangerous to be hanging about

Oh how I miss you to this day

I may be an adult but I still like to hang out and play

Kids these days will never know

Which totally sucks and completely blows
