A Poor Boy Peeps Into a Fair

It's a fantasy-fair; great games in thread
Some in merry-go-rounds flow in full swing
He stands, smiling and laughing, eyes wide spread

Some, in hope-doubt smiles, to shoot balloons, ding
Some ride on camels as on a true war
Some in merry-go-rounds flow in full swing

Some seeing lions in pretty-cases, roar
Some, around tentative pools, feed penguins 
Some ride on camels as on a true war

Some in bird-fly-fairy costumes spread wings
Some, cuisines in mouth, color spittle bleed
Some, around tentative pools, feed penguins

What shakes! What sips! What hot-cold drinks, indeed
To him, a poor boy, these tell wild tales 
Some, cuisines in mouth, color spittle bleed

Fun and frolic mixed cocktails and mock-tails
It's a fantasy-fair; great games in thread
To him, a poor boy, these tell wild tales  
He stands, smiling and laughing, eyes wide spread
