PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It was school holidays off I went to the fair.
Where rides went up and down and into the air.

*

Penny arcades and candy floss.
Pull down the handle for a win or a loss.

*

Pots and pans crockery galore.
Always filled me with awe.

*

A toffee apple was a real treat.
After licking my sticky fingers and finding a seat.

*

Spruikers all shouting "not fifty not thirty not even ten.
But if ya give me a fiver...I'll throw in Big Ben".

*

With a smile on my dial and a satisfied grin.
What was left of the toffee apple I threw in the bin.

*

Now it was time to go have some fun.
Going as fast as my legs could run.

*

With screams of delight fear and fright.
I felt I was flying like a kite.

*

Over I went to the swings that flew in the air.
Paid my ticket jumped on without a care.

*

The ferris wheel was next, going around and around.
Defying gravity the big wheel came close to the ground.

*

My tummy was rumbling as my feet hit the floor.
But I was happy and wanted more.

*

Sprinting to the rifle show to shoot a few wooden ducks.
All I won was a little stuffed teddy bear...that sucks!

*

Now to the penny arcades with one-arm bandits.
It was my lucky day, up rolled three oranges, and down came three pennies...thrilled me to bits.

*

Over I went to see strong men strike a blow.
With a deep breath and a jolly heave-ho!

*

Sleeves rolled up, hammer in the air..looking I stood.
With one mighty blow the hammer came crashing on the wooden stud.

*

Success!...with cheers from the crowd the bell was struck.
They gave him a coconut and wished him good luck.

*

I waited my turn to jump on the Dodgem cars, such a treat.
Everyone crazy driving like mad, not to collide took some feat.

*

My time was nearly up what could I do.
I thought to myself...I'll throw some bean bags which was great fun too.

*

My pocket money nearly all gone,with sixpence left to spend.
The big roller coaster looked inviting, with girls screaming around the bend.

*

Now strapped into my seat, everyone excited in breathless fright.
Faster and faster we did go...banking left then a quick right.

*

It started to rain, I thought what a pain.
Running for a shelter from the rain.

*

Had to walk home in the rain without a coat.
It didn't matter to me..cause I was fall of glee, even though now broke.

*

All in all I had a great day at the fair.
Can't wait for next year...I'll be there.
