The Fairground

The Fairground I remember the fairground when I was a child, there was the candy Fairy Floss machines, and you could See them spinning the spider webs of sugar which Made up the sweet delight, that children loved to eat Then There was Sideshow Alleys with its clown stall With the moving heads and popping the balls into it's Mouth, there was the shooting galleries and penny Toss events and many other things to play, there was a Ghost Train and the Dodgem Cars and Boats, where Bumping deliberately was not allowed, the Penny Arcade With Pinball games and the Claw Crane where you tried To grab a prize If you where lucky, penny slots which Could give you a free ball and your penny back by flicking A lever, and now the main events, the Big Dipper or Roller Coaster, it would leave you going back for your Stomach, the large Slippery Dips, Hall of Mirrors and The Tunnel of Love river caves, Ferris Wheel and the Helter Skelter where you rode down a spiral on a mat But the one thing that stands out in the Fairground Was the giant Carousel, a beautiful hand crafted Turntable loaded with beautifully crafted wooden Horses, which where all hand painted, children would Always want to ride this iconic ride and if you where Able to grab the brass ring, you would get another Ride absolutely free, yes the Fairground was an event In itself, as children would always want to go there All of the time and even the adults would ask their Children to go, because inside every adult lived Another little child, they all loved the Fairground.
