The Ghost Train.
A Poem by Paul Bell
You’ve got to get in from the startGirl, love, mortgage, houseThe trip has begunSeat belt onForget the planThe roller coaster will take you upBut not for longLife's like thatTells you in the songOk, we’re heading downIs that a frownLook aroundGirl's goneLoveOff with JoeHouseYou don’t want to knowNo mortgage thoughNow, was that a thrillAll the fun of the fairWhat, bitter pillShe isn't thereThat’s the roller coasterHigh and lowNo one knowsNew womanDon’t try to explainSeat belt onLet me introduce the ghost train.

oh man! "Let me introduce the ghost train" ...somehow i don't think that's an invitation with a whole lot of hope ;{
i felt myself bouncing from one jag to the next and up and down as the coaster rolled on...life indeed sir ...can not help but feel for the man in the picture ...but maybe he should give riding a res for a bit longer ... get a more positive disposition for the "rest of the story" ;)
E.
love that closing line .. packs a punch!
