Screams and laughter floating through the air,

bright lights and tasty sights only at the fair.

Fluffy cotton candy, crunchy funnel cake,

add some fried oreos, it’s worth the stomach ache.

Sticky fingers clutching metal bars,

the ride goes so high, you might reach the stars.

Mechanical whirring from the coasters and swings,

make the high score when the winning bell rings.

Try to hit your mark on the plastic ring toss,

a stuffed animal shows you did it like a boss.

The time has come for the evening’s close,

now it’s time to look for the car in the parking lot’s rows.
