FAIR GROUND AND STADIUM
                                                                                                                               
   Remembering open ground and stadium.
                                                                                                                                  
   Loud applause and cheerful noise to hear.
                                                                                                                               
   Games, shows, fair, exhibitions, circus at random
                                                                                                                                 
    attracting populace throughout the year.
                                                                                                                                
    
   Memories of immense joy on childhood day
                                                                                                                                   
  Moving in circular motion on swinging wheel.
                                                                                                                                
   Rustic village seller knew well to play    
                                                                                                                                 
      flute violin in tune for kids to thrill.
                                                                                                                                 
   
    Now video games startling kids in fair ground.
                                                                                                                                  
    In stadium robot toys speak, make movement,
                                                                                                                                  
     Yet still fireworks and crackers produce loud sound.
                                                                                                                                  
    Present crowd on clamor as in past with excitement.
