Fairground face
No more here
No more illusions
Delusions we fear
There is no more
No more here
Shimmers the glaze
My fairground face
Reflects
There is no more
No more here
No more illusions
Delusions we fear
There is no more
No more here
Standing still
I wait and see
Shimmers the glaze
Stares back

Fairground of the Mad
Fairground of the mad
Around and around it goes
Lies are better than truths
Honesty is for fools
No one believes the politicians
Or anyone else
Opinionated bastards’ rules ok
In a world that lost its
Moral compass its humanity
If you are not greedy for power
You are a loser.
And since everyone is lying
You have to take a side
Pretend you

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

Fairground
As I walk around feeling
The hay under my feet
Can smell the foods
That makes me want to eat
People playing board games
And children playing around
Some up on the stage
Dancing as the band plays a song
Assortment of decorations
Of ribbons of many colors
Like a bright rainbow
Of many colorful flowers
Crowds of children on lines
Getting on the merry go

Fairground Fur
Fi,fy,foe,fum. I smell the blood. Sweet nectar of fools. Stamp them down. Stamp it all out. Back and forth like the swing of a fairground hammer.
Adjust the ride. Inject the senses. Bathed in a misty surround of vibrant blue striped with lashings of orange.
Moving to the fruit machine looking like an ice cream. Staring fish

Fairground
Smells of boiled hot dog sausages,
beef burgers and onions.
Mingle these with - wafts of candy floss,
toffee apples and brandy snaps.
Whirring of engines
chugging over noisily,
half drowned by thumping music,
screams and laughter.
A multitude of lights flash and spin,
in time with the rides
that dash before your eyes;
round and round,
side to side,
back and forth,
and upside down.
Over and over,
