L Milton Hankins Poet Other

At the Arcade

At the arcade excitement waits
With games galore for everyone
An entire afternoon of fun
Saucy hot dogs and ice cream plates
Some new friendships and fun-filled dates 
Lots of fantastic prizes won
at the arcade.

The enjoyment never abates
Like the shooting gallery gun,
Oh, and the hot cinnamon bun
Then, of course, I won paperweights
at the arcade.

Caren Krutsinger October 14, 2022 at 9:56 PM I am loving these end rhymes "Saucy hot dogs and ice cream plates Some new friendships and fun-filled dates " But I only recall snow cones at our carnivals not cinnamon buns! L Milton Hankins October 15, 2022 at 7:58 AM You are right, Caren, but "snow cones" fouled up the rhythm.
