I remember mentioning this in chat a while ago, and Freak wanted to see it. I just now found it. Cleaning under the desk, ftw! ><
Escalators scare me so.
They fill my mind and heart with woe,
and each time that I get on one,
I feel a nightmare has just begun.
When I step on for a ride,
I feel a twinge of my insides.
I might go up, I might go down.
Escalators make me frown.
As the steps slide into place,
I secure my two shoelace,
for if one lace is left untied
I could be stuck on this frightening ride.
I grab the railing for support,
but the steps are its cohorts.
They move quickly and in sync.
My terrified eyes cannot blink.
And then, the steps will level out.
I try to run or scream or shout.
I try to flee from the impending doom,
but, sadly, I don't have the room.
My feet can't move, will they get stuck?
Yes, that would be just my luck.
The thought of feet ripping apart
won't ease the beating of my heart.
Then my feet wake from their sleep.
Quickly, I make a giant leap.
"I'm free," I screech, jumping around
back on solid, level ground.
Still escalators scare me so.
Right now I'm free but soon I know
that to return I'll have to ride
the escalator on the other side.
