Make Me Laugh

The music was so loud I could hardly hear myself think as the carny's followed the crowd as if they we're the missing link the carny's and customers danced to the rhythm of the beat while I searched and hunted, longing for a seat to rest my feet Round and round I went feeling like I was on the tilt a whirl up and down the aisles bumping into a dancing girl arms and legs moving as the crescendo of music built as some carny's swarmed upon me, I didn't know what to think Then I heard a carny bark something about a great deal barking come on up here to spin this here magic spinning wheel soon there was a stampede of feet running to the front while I hung in the back, not wanting to feel the brunt After two hours the carny's announced it was closing time so I grabbed my belongings and made it to the front line still dancing the carny's cleaned up which I thought comical and while exiting I heard above the music, thanks for shopping at Shoe Carnival!

I was sure I was at a real carnival; especially when I came to "the music was so loud I could hardly hear myself think," and "I heard a carny bark something about a great deal." Nicely written. Bravo.
