Ferris Wheel Fantasies

we left the farm in early morn mom, pop, pet, sister and me down winding tree-lined country roads to find a Ferris wheel fantasy ruts in the old dirt road we rode bounced dad’s rusty red jalopy Fritz, a spotted white shepherd dog found travel his brand new hobby fourteen miles from a quiet church steel towers poked the morning sky around the bend near trout stream glen midway marvels caught my eye noses found the animal barn with new shorn sheep and gabby goats pudgy pigs ten brown cows new moan hay and horsey oats mother sought sweet kettle corn father went to where engines roar mama fed us sausages dad slipped off to more explore creaky wooden roller coasters calliopes and midway clowns bumper cars and a carousels cure the ills and fix the frowns the special prize for all us kids is not fried chicken on a stick or stinky plop drop petting zoos it is, the coolest rides we pick B1298B
