Night At the Fair

Darlene Netherwither Lane loves cotton candy

And popcorn and elephant ears it’s all quite dandy

It’s all about fun at the carnival with its food

She and husband Davis take their big brood

The tunnel of love ride makes Davis super randy

Little Cassandra likes the tilt-a-whirl best

And big eighth grade Colin loves all the rest

Nine year old Noelle enjoys the ferris wheel

Eleven years Stanley doesn’t – a little sick it makes him feel

But over all it’s a special night success

Marcia Marcia Marcia loves the blueberry pie

She has a crush on Klinger Harvey but he’s extremely shy

Colin’s in love with Klinger’s sister Cheryl

But Cheryl’s Mom tells her that Colin’s a little feral.

In this tale we can’t forget three year old sis Vi

Darlene and Davis enjoy a live band

They need help backstage so Davis gives them a hand

Darlene puts earplugs in sweet little Vi’s ears

She’s an attentive mother and drinks no beers

In the distance some see a UFO land

The band stops and people run for their cars

Two blocks away pub owners close their bars

Darlene and Davis round up their young crew

They should have stayed home – this day they will rue

They’ve locked themselves out so they descend on  neighbor Lars

Lovely Oregon sky. No UFOs to be seen.   🙂
