478. The Fair

The ferris wheel twirled with excitement
Young children screamed their delight
Carnival music filled the air
The county fair was a wonderful sight
Barkers yelled about their games
Dimes turning into dollars for a bear
Exotic flowers and trees filled pavilions
Artists painted faces and dyed kids’ hair
Horses and cows were paraded for prizes
Sheep and pigs to be showed and sold
Musicians played every type of music
Such fun for both young and old
Delicious snacks filled hungry stomachs
Little mouths colored by cotton candy
Young mothers stuck in continuous motion
Trying to clean messes with anything handy
But all things do come to an end
The last visitor leaves the exit way
Though the fair has ended it’ll be back
What a wonderful way to spend a day
