At a Fair Contest

Tickets were free and given to me by a clown
Come by and see the house of mirrors he said
I will gladly take you in saying with a grin
His name was BoBo the clown he had a honking sound

I went to the fair alone not thinking I left my phone at home
I was all dressed up with a new dress on just wanting to have fun
The first ride I went on was the pendulum I had a swinging time
I played a few games then I saw the ride of a life time

Everyone was talking about the Dark ride so I went inside
They sat me beside a man in his forties I was only sixteen
In the middle of the ride he looked over at me 
As if he wanted to kill me he took out a knife

Placing it to my neck this is going to be fun he said
I grab his hand pushing the knife away and jumped out of the cart
He chased me and chased me but then I saw BoBo the clown
I yelled BoBo, BoBo HELP ME!! BoBo came to my rescue saving me

My Daddy was undercover that night with the LAPD 

He was BoBo the clown
