The Carnival



The question was when I was a kid
Would I go the carnival
Look at the girls who looked at me too
Face our incarnate arrival?

Could clumsy kids be graceful we who
Were unsure about survival
Arriving could we survive us when
We came face to face with our fears?

Had to but would be sad had we not

So I should go is what I thought
Overcoming some fears I got rid
Of the hard way over the years
Sometimes over and over again

Going through this life was showing
Me how it does now what it would do
When life went on like it meant to
Showing it meant I should be going

Had to but would be glad I did

The carnival is one place to face our fears. The loud noises, crowds, pickpockets and shysters. But as kids, we gravitate towards the rides, where we can engage in daredevil flight and sudden stops, generally without danger, but with the great impression of danger.
