Sliding down hills on blocks of ice.
But summertime – what can be done?
That thrill of speeding would be nice.
How about coasting down on wheels
In a chair thing rolling on tracks?
Oh you should have heard my loud squeals.
My ministers had heart attacks,
As I rolled roaring down the hill
Behind the palace. It was wild.
Every trip – a childlike thrill.
Roller coasting was my brainchild.

When asked about the ride to rate,
I, Empress Catherine, yelled, “Great!”

When the psychiatrist isn’t really there.
