Who gives himself airs,
you're welcome to fairs.

Rhoda rode rodeos at
Countless County Fairs
Parents partners and children
Schemed screeched screamed...

Army,
Church,
And
Jail.
Three jobs
Are posted
Every day,
Every week,
On TV,
News papers,
Wall ads,
On Fairs.
Three manufactures
For packing 
Death....

Orange lights that say
What Halloween means to me
At this time of year
Comes rushing into my heart
Each time it fairs to be real

In the womb and in grave
For all apparently dark
But not trained biased fairs;
Under the brightest sun
The mind follows biased colors!

No more book fairs or tours
  no autographs signed

My words are my gift
  the privacy mine

No talk shows or fetes
  New York Times to eschew

Questions unanswered
  —my thoughts unreviewed

A stone font and white duck found it renown
This ancient saxon hill-fort town-
Growing to wealth around its four squares
With regular markets and seasonal fairs
Buying and selling sheep,cattle and mares.

Tribute to my hometown Aylesbury...

Today I’m thankful for state fairs

Where else can you eat all kinds of foods that are fried
ride a roller coaster with your hands high in the air…
spend a hundred dollars on games of chance
and, if you’re lucky, come away with an oversized teddy bear?

Toilet paper with teddy bears!
Bought by rich women with other wares.
Sold initially at world's fairs.
Amid joyous laughter in the airs.
Some people looked with ridiculous stares.
Such nonsense found at world's fairs!
Soon they will be coloring apples and pears...

Every one wants to have fun,
I know it is hard but it needs 
to be done. 

Fairs and fireworks,
Are for the kids but for me it,
Doesn't works. 

I wish,
Coffee mug and books,
In my fists. 

This is my definition of fun, 
but it may be different for you or,
Me....

Fall

Towns alive with football games, festive parades and county fairs
while nature dresses for sleep in her nightgown of earthen hues.
Festivals hushing at the end as she beds down....Grand is Fall....

country fairs
carnival fun rides
side show tents
show your skill
tilted wheels, shabby prizes
win your girl a bear

country fairs
high expectations
exhibits
blue ribbons
congratulations winners
losers try next year

This is
My home
Evergreen trees
Stinging honeybees
County fairs
And summer air
The history around
Is quite renowned
This is
My home

In this state
There are rattlesnakes
And deep blue lakes
Open praries
Farms for dairy
Mountains high
And winters dry
In this place
I live...

August signals start of the county fairs
Excited farm kids are showing their stuff,
Plenty of prize-winning bulls and mares
Good times won’t last quite long enough,
For future farmers showing their wares.

A tap on the shoulder
 The call of your name
 Your next for a boarder
 A tattoo in the game
 
I was so bored
 My day was so lame
 I had played all the fairs games
 So I made myself a bracelet
 With all my favorites names
 
We saw the singers preform
 And now their here for ever
 Right here on my arm
 Here to permanently endeavor
In the heat of the sun...

Go lightly...not tightly
walking tall...into walls

Fall softly...in lofty
places...of graces

Share cares...and fairs
rains...and pains

Speak kindly...and mindly
Smile broad...and laude

When you shake...don't quake
In your eyes...no lies

To the little...teach riddles
and the old...just hold

Go lightly not tightly
Walk tall ....into walls...

It is the change of the season
Summer has left-Autumn is here
The days will begin  to be longer
The summer weather is gone
Autumn will bring cooler cold air
Now a huge weather change
Time for sweaters and jackets
Autumn has country fairs
Everyone enjoys them
Also the bright color leaves
To enjoy the beautiful season
Oh! A must a hay ride in the
farmer's field...

The fairs, the carnivals,

Games to play, prizes to win!

The glory of warm, summer, wind.

Children in their glory in sandals.

The beauty of dreamy skin.

This season is a win.

Boat rides in mystic lakes.

The lighted piers ashine.

Moments, indeed, divine.

Summer-dreams drift our way.

Are you ready for this dream?

Smarter than a dolphin golfing a par five with two raging rabid bears

Smarter than a blind man walking up seven uneven stairs

Smarter than a clunky monkey who takes your quarter at fairs

Smarter than a genius that keeps his mouth closed because no one cares

Smarter than a species that is not found and still out there

Smarter than Einstein's brain so step into my lair.   -TA...

Glistening snow has covered the earth

when spring, rings in, it's like a re-birth,

color comes out everywhere,

the time for upcoming fairs

and yardsales, with items of great worth.

Shedding your skin, just like a sleek snake,

soon you can even jump in a lake,

''
'repeat the seasons of four,

just like a revolving door,


storing these memories, we all make.

There’s a not-so-fine line
Between antiques and junk.
Some objects of “value”
A pro may debunk.

While others, so old
They are covered in rust,
Seem worthless, so passing
Them over’s a must.

Still, it can be fun
Checking out all the wares 
At various flea markets,
Shops, booths and fairs.

It takes a keen eye
To uncover some treasure,
But poking around
Brings a “Look at this!” pleasure....

Every day and every night
I want you within view
I have all sorts of dreams and plans
That we can try, us two

I know some things you'd really like
They're included on the list 
Things like farmer's markets, fairs
Nothing is dismissed

I'll do it all, you lead the way
I'll drive while you relax
For when you spend a day with me
There is no added tax 

I only want your company
Just to be with you 
Nothing extra, nothing more
Unless you wanted to...

Air is warmly scented with flowers and hydrangea blooms in blue,
Unusual birds and butterflies appear in beautiful colors and vibrant hues.
Gusty thunderstorms envelope with wild winds that cool the steamy air.
Ultimate country fairs and shopping excursions are found everywhere.
Strawberries, blueberries and blackberries are robust, sweet and fresh.
Take time to enjoy the last stretch of summer, a time to relax and refresh!...

Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus
One of my favorite songs;
Message is quite clear.

Fair is often used
As adjective that describes
What we want to see.

Fairs have been items;
Things that you possess and own,
And are earthly goods.

To be opposite
Always a reciprocal
Even in God's rules.

Opposites attract
Or if same they may oppose;
Polls magnets possess.
