The Pirate's Ship, by Mark Tulin

Amanda’s father took her to the amusement park last Saturday, and it was okay for a while. They went on all the rides, walked through the Fun House, and laughed when they got dizzy hanging upside down on the Pirate’s Ship. The nachos and cheese fries were good even though her tummy hurt and dad kept going to the bathroom. But Amanda wished that her father wouldn’t have lectured her on boys, or explained how important it was to get good grades in school. She hated when dad tried to teach her things in the middle of having fun.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    I clicked on your link, but it would not go thru. Maybe it’s on my end.
