Five Friends Enjoy an Evening at the Fair


When Terri the Turtle and Henry the Hare
joined Gary the Gator at the fabulous fair,
they ate tasty green taffy, chili cheese dogs and fries,
cotton candy, and snow cones. Then, to their surprise,
they saw Larry the Lion and Shelton the Sheep
having fun on the bumper cars, honking~~~Beep, Beep!
They all rode the roller coaster and the Cruisin’ Carousel;
then they went to win prizes and did really well.
They won tall teddy bears and boxes of bubble gum.
They were having a great time, so glad they had come.
It got late. They’d grown tired, and their money was spent.
With piles of fine prizes, to their homes they all went.

Thanks so much, Tom. The prompt calls for an alliterative nursery rhyme-type poem! It took me a WHILE to do this one. Janice
