“My Giant Swing,” Friend, May 1974, 1

My Giant Swing

I began to pump,

First low, then high,

Till my swing went over

And brushed the sky—

Around and around

In a giant arc,

Till I catapulted

Clear out of the park.

I lit on a steeple

Far across town.

And it took six firemen

To get me down.
