Bye Bye Gravity Force

A Poem by George David Hope

Something I came up with when my daughters favourite trampoline park went into liquidation

BYE BYE GRAVITY FORCE

No more trips to Gravity Force

The companies gone kaput

It's no good trying to get in

The doors are firmly shut

No more safety briefings

Or chances to say "That's you"*

Never again to get a stamp

On Saturdays what will we do?

No more landing in the foam pit

Flipping down the tumble track

It's no good paying it a visit

You'll have to come straight back

No more games of dodgeball

Getting hit right in the face

If that's what you went for

You'll have to find another place

So think about those memories

And all the fun it gave

And on a brighter note

All the money I'll now save

Author's Note

* my daughter and I used to say "That's you" to each other when it said you couldn't use the trampoline if you were pregnant or over weight or had a medical condition that could be affected

My grandchildren adored the trampoline. We had one in the garden for years, quite a big one. Hmm I was known on occasions to dabble myself, usually after a glass of wine when I should have known better. This is a fun poem. Great fun, but not so good on Dad's pocket!!Entertaining read George.

I do understand this poem. My three grandchildren love the trampoline place. I sit and watch only. I tried once. That was enough for the old man. Thank you for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.
