The Inkwell#Fowc #Hoopla
Saturday 20th April, 2019
Have a go, step right up – try your hand at getting the Hoop
On the target
Of course , land it on the right target – you’ll get a
Prize, It’s all down to where your hoop
Lands – and that’s down to your
Aim and Throw
On a Sunday morning,
In the bright sunshine
You’ll see them all
In their finest
Taking a walk
With husband or wife
Along with the children,
Escaping the strife
No work for the blacksmith
The shops are all closed
They’ve all been to church
So a walk is proposed
And while making their way
To the local town fair
Some humbugs and sweets
The family will share
As mum and dad rest
In their boaters and hats
The children play games
With the balls and their bats
An acrostic on the Carousel, by Inky.
Crazy, the way this
amusement ride of colour turns
round and around to the sound
of the pipes in its middle
under the musics charms the
stallions and fillies move up and down
expect laughter and cheers from the
little ones, who’ve been waiting all summer to ride it
A tale of a fairground ride
Starting slowly
you slowly make your ascent
building in speed
till you start to drop
speeding up as you turn
round and round you go
till the spiral ends
and the corkscrew stops
and your stomach drops
