Fair

I went to a fair that came to our town once a year To eat some popcorn and also drink some root beer Maybe get some cotton candy and also ride some rides I might even play some games and win myself a prize. I walked about the park all the attractions I wanted to see Maybe see some clowns or a lion might even see a dancing flea I then saw some children arguing so I told them all to play fair Then as I spoke those words of wisdom, I saw a dancing bear. I decided for an adventure so I decided to get on a ride I wanted to sit beside a beautiful woman to protect her along with my pride So I got on the Ferris wheel after first paying my own fare It took be around in circles and took me not here or even there. I then went to a booth and watch a man guessing people's weight If he guessed wrong, then the winners he would happily congratulate He would judge by their clothes and then guess with a true fairness But he seldom guessed wrong from his sight and his own awareness. They then held a beauty contest for the women of our small town One of our lucky women would walk away with a winners crown The judging was to be done upon which woman was the fairest Every woman wanted to win, but they knew only one would fair best. In our life fair, fairest and fairness will seldom be used If you are on trial or being judged or being accused or abused Because of wealth or politics or favoritism the trodden upon must pay a fare And if you want to find fair, fairest and fairness then go to a county fair.
