When I was a child, we had a merry-go-round similiar to this one only probably a little larger at the school that I attended..All the children played at one recess all over the playground..Several smaller children including me got on the merry-go-round..Then an older boy offered to help push it to get it going..Then some other older boys came and they got it to going really fast..I fell off  and rolled under the bottom..This is what this one is about..
. Merry-go-round. Children's sound float. Feet pound fallen Child upon ground Beneath mound, scream! The wound ran deep.
