Roll up Roll up! come to the Fair, <br />roll up roll up! come take a ride. <br />Come and see the Carousel, <br />and all the show's on the side. <br />Coconut Shy's, three balls for a pound. <br />'Try hitting the target madam, <br />not the ground! <br />Fortune Tellers and kiss me quick hats, <br />Helter Scelter slides, on coconut mats. <br />Bumper Cars, Ghost Trains, <br />The rides that thrill, and the Scenic Raiway, <br />that goes up, and over the hill. <br />Big Dippers and water rides, <br />will all give you a scare, <br />but lets face it folks, that's the fun of the fair. <br /> <br />Toffee apples and peanuts, lot's of stickey treats, <br />candy floss, burgers, and sugar dummy sweets. <br />'So come on Dad's, you won't find it a bore, <br />their's a Rifle Range, where you can score! <br />Send the kids to the fun house, and Mum to bingo <br />that's if she can understand the lingo.We have a Picnic Park, <br />and a place to ramble, and lots of Arcades for those, <br />who want to gamble. <br />Gift shops for presents, and postcards to send, <br />and if the young ones get tired, <br />we have a pushchair to lend, and if be needed, <br />there's a bouncy castle, to tie the day up, <br />in a gift wrapped parcel. <br />'Roll up Roll up, here I go again, <br />sorry folks it's now started to rain!<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/roll-up-roll-up/
