Carnival Thoughts

You are something special, too, standing in the Ferris wheel queue please save some time for me No one rides this ride for free! You do not know what I am thinking and, no, I have not been drinking You see me standing very near I am the guy who is working the gear. I will wink when you pass by check my hair, straighten my tie keep you going up and down Join me on the merry-go-round? written August 29, 2021

Just a fun write out of the blue, Delice. Sometimes that happens to me. Thanks for your read.

A summer’s carnival romance wish…she was probably spying desperately to see if he was winking her way… So few words, Milton, presenting a whole film to my imagination. Thank you.
