The Carousel
A gentle push,
a bell rings
as we slowly move,
and the music begins.
The horse goes up
with mane of blue
and tail of orange
moving faster, too.
The horse goes down
all blue and white
with a saddle of red
and a pole to hug tight.
Round we go
with benches to sit
if horse riding
is not your fit.
Faster around as the music
grows louder too.
Its a flying machine
with horses of blue.
A machine that slowly winds down
like a music box with a dancing doll.
The horses move ever slower until
the ride is over ... thats all.
Were you way up high
when the music stopped?
Or was your horse very low ...
my how it did drop!!
Can we go around again,
oh please, oh please.
Forever and always
blue horse in the breeze.
