Laughter, giggling ... squeals of delight
Carnival sounds ... hit the balloon with the dart!
Rides going round and round ... music blaring
Nip in the air making all foods cooking smell good
Give me a sausage dog with onions, peppers please!
It's here again ... the State Fair is here again
Exhibits, cars doing tricks, animals too
Colorful lights ... big shows, bands playing, dancing
Thousands of smiling faces, hearts full of joy
The State Fair is here! The State Fair is here!
I think I'll have a funnel cake too
Corn on the Cob, big Turkey Legs, Fried Pickles
Children being measured for rides
To keep them safe from falling off
Ice Cream cones dripping down their arms
Pigs racing ... the biggest alligator ... shortest woman
Homemade fudge ... pies, cakes too!
Cooking contests ... judges getting to taste all
The State Fair is here! The State Fair is here!
Thousands of people going to have some fun
Get their favorite foods they craved all year!
Note by this Author:
The State Fair is here ... I wish I could be there. I've had an accident that fractured my knee cap that may prevent me from going.
I was looking forward ... excited waiting for this time of year to do Fall things. Sometimes ... life gives us a twist, a turn ... we go in a different direction. For now, I take one thing at a time.

I have always loved fairs. Unfortunately we don't have them here. Thanks for the memories. A most delightful poem.
ReplyDeleteWe could have had a lot of fun at the State Fair. I probably won't go this year either. Maybe next year we will b able to go. We had tons of fun the last time we went--remember? Love, Ms. Nancy
