This actually happened in the early 1900 to my father and his brother..In a small rural town..The tent caught on fire, they scampered under it, ran looking back and ran into a brick wall...

Carnival Two brothers save coins Look forward Excitement Read, reread poster, pictures Talk about strange sights Main big tent Brothers find a seat Excitement Mountain high Someone in main tent screams,"Fire" Boys run, bam, brick wall Contest: Share A Shardoma Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Written by: Sara Kendrick Shadorma form not listed

ooooh, a brick wall there. THAT's not good. This reminded me of the movie about elephants I saw last spring. It was a really good movie. Do you know the one I am talking about. I hope this does well in the contest, and thanks for my win in your recent contest. I wasn't sure it fit the bill or not but am glad to know you like stew!

We don't got no carnival, we have the local show, with all the thrills and rides, and spills, when horses dump ya, know, great excitement felt, with verse svelte, ya know!

Reminds me when a friend and I we're watching a quarter sphere movie in a carnival tent in Germany on post. We both had a mug of beer in our hands as we were standing watching. The motorcyclist crashed into a load of sand suddenly at the end and the lights came on to find my friend and I both on the ground. We couldn't believe it ourselves. I don't think either one of us spilled our beers.

This is such a fun poem in the first verse and then I worry if the people in the tent escaped harm. Very compelling work, Sara. Thank you for my placement in your contest. I was raised a yankee and we never boiled anything but chicken soup. You were very kind and I'd love to make that parmesan-crusted grouper for you one day. It's awesome and has a great aftertaste too. Love, Carolyn
