Cotton Candy Memories

I dreamt of cotton candy
One in the hand is kind of handy
Just take a bite
And chew it as you might
Then it melts in your mouth
As it disappears down south

Then you hold your father by the hand
Seeing the lights flitter around so grand
The cool summer breeze feels great
The summer holidays you couldn’t wait
At the end asleep in the back of the car
To home and bed wasn’t too far.

G'day Paul … your verse brought back a few childhood memories from attending agricultural shows and fairs. Down here it's called 'fairy floss' and it was the first stall I headed for - thanks Paul - Lindsay
