After a Fair in the South
The funnel cake fryers have been turned off
And having dined on the Fair goers, the mosquitoes are full.
The freak show attendants smoke cigarettes and cough,
While the Four H Club winner waters his prized bull.
A security officer wipes the sweat from his brow,
As his superior reads the report about a cotton candy theft.
All is calm on the Fair grounds now
Because the last of the visitors have left.
