The Olde Country Fair

The old county faIr
Six times on the Ferris wheel
A three dog night


A sudden shower
Run for cover or shiver
Uncurled ringlets laugh


A tiny trophy
A water pistol winner
Clutched in sleeping hands

Our overture
A rumble of fireworks
Beneath a rainbow

Now that's an overture worthy of John Philip Sousa! Great series of senryus, John!
