A Decuain poem for the picture this club

Oldest County Fair

by June Sargent



The sound of children's laughter warms my heart,

as scent of cotton candy fills the air.

Here, young and old together all take part

in games and scary rides ~ for those who dare.

The Gobbler sandwich is beyond compare,

with Deep Fried Oreos for my sweet tooth.

The music from the carousel will blare,

inviting me to find the ticket booth.

I'll cherish memories that I can share ~

since good, old-fashioned fun these days is rare.
