Carnival of Carnivals

I watch carnival of carnivals quickly unfold intense barkers are yelling as if their large bears are gold seeing ultimate thin man and fat lady never gets old fortune tellers are so unique, they’ve created their mold tickets are being traded, fought over, bought and sold. elaborate stories are being bandied about in the cold. silver is crossing palms, upsells are extremely bold. acrobats are doing tricks with agile bodies that fold. from the tilt-a-whirl ride an old man just fell and rolled. kewpie dolls nod from their shelves inside the fold. merry-go-round horses are touched up with gold. old women are wearing minks, flashing that they're stolled. carnival of carnivals is a treat that never gets old. cotton candy is pink and puffy, spun right out of gold. tickets are being traded, fought over, bought and sold. traveling from town to town, her tales quickly unfold.
