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 at me
My fairground face
There is no more
No more here
No more illusions
Delusions we fear
Shimmers the glaze
My fairground face

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 believe one
Side – best lies- over the other
And the carousel goes faster
Till we all fall off
And ask nature for mercy

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 round
Screaming and laughing
A fun day at the fair ground
The noise of corn being popped
And clowns in funny costumes
Candy floss toffee covered apples
And hundreds of balloons
Burgers and hotdogs on grills
The smell of food everywhere
Moms and Dads playing games
Trying to win big teddy bears
The wonder of a fairground
And the happiness it bring
As I wave to my friend seren
Eating ice cream on a swing
Wish if the whole world
Was a great big fairground
Every day will be fill with fun
And no one will do wrong
They say if you wish
One day it might come true
My wish is for a world
Of happiness for me and you

Home from fairground -
hungry
Admiring delightful
colours, aromas.
Feast -
carrots, sweetcorn, peas...
Rotates in microwave
- Carousel

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, on and on they go.
Crowds pushing and shoving,
impatiently they each await their short turn.
Money changes hands,
speaker blasts; 'Hold tight, here we go...';
While greedy fair lords
count their cash profits;
before packing up at end of night,
to go home to their caravans;
sleep briefly
then hit the road once more.
Onwards they go to next town,
ready to start all over again....
