Does anyone recognize this poem?  It was submitted to a writing contest as
an original entry (which it very well may be), but it seems familiar to me.
I have checked a lot of the Silverstein & Prelutsky collections, and haven't
found it, but I am wondering if it looks familiar to anyone else.  Thanks
for your help!

At The Fair

I'm going to ride the thriller ride
The loop-de-looping chiller ride
The one that climbs a mile high
Then-whooooosh-comes dropping from the sky
The ride that twists and turns and spins
That sounds like squawking violins
That takes your hat and breath away.
Give me a ticket-but not today.
