The funfair was in full swing. And why not, now it was Spring. To the carousel, Ella and me, We tried to find a horse that was free. Places on horses were taken by all Except for one, it was a windfall. Ella sat in front, holding the sturdy pole Whilst I sat holding her waist like a mole. Music played a radiant refrain, Echoing dreams, again and again. The carousel began its round, a slow spin People shouted or laughed a joyous din. Soon, the speed was slightly increased Oh boy, did we enjoy this lovely feast! Then the brakes were applied and all came to a halt. I fell on Ella’s neck, it was not my fault. I felt her warm flesh and gave her a kiss. We decided to have another go as this was bliss.

Hi Victor, how romantic you are at your age! Keep up this youthful spirit. Sometimes even a fall can turn to be a bliss. The poem is very much in keeping with the spirit of carousal. Dear Victor, you come up with interesting anecdotes every day.

I love horsing around. It is all good. You bring back youthful memories, of love and love explorations. Youth is beautiful! And add some music, and the day is musically divine. I am now restoring an old xylophone, a Christmas gift. Happy New Year my friend.

Victor, I used to love to ride on the Carousel, and any fast rides. Time takes its toll, now I’d never dare to go on fast rides at the fair. I enjoyed reading of your romantic ride on the Carousel… Beryl
