True or False

When taking a test,
words like "always" and "never"
should point to the answer, for-
if you are clever-
you should know by now
that it's always the case
that "always" proves false,
and that "never" takes place.
Always is never consistently true-
and never's a word that I learned from you.

The Tilt-a-Whirl

It wouldn't stop,
And though I screamed,
The Tilt-a-Whirl went round and round.

The air was full
And hot and sweet,
With candy vendors up and down,
But I could think of nothing else:
The Tilt-a-Whirl went round and round.

My mother laughed,
The camera flashed,
My father held my hand too tight-
But all my crying was in vain:
The Tilt-a-Whirl went round and round.

My friends had braved this awful ride,
They had returned both safe and sound,
But I was certain my demise
Would come from going round and round.
