I love the carousel!


Poem Artwork

Carousel horses
Go up and down
Round and round
All day all night they go
Colorful show

Organ grinder plays
The horses eyes
Mesmerize
Lights around carousel
Go 'round and glow

Out go the lights
Carousel stops
Organ sound drops
Ride operator's
Head hits the pillow

'EVERYBODY' NEEDS TO GET SOME REST AT SOME TIME OR THE OTHER...ESPECIALLY THE GUY WHO TAKES PEOPLE ON GREAT CAROUSEL RIDES. LIKE THE RHYME SCHEME. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Poor fellow, after all the razzle dazzle of the carousel, his head hits the pillow indeed. Thank you for thinking of him. John

You have depicted and shared the scene and situation most effectively, Jane. Love and best wishes,

Worked in a carny 12 PM to 12 AM for about six days straight three years in my teens. During times when crowds were light, it was extremely boring. We were not allowed to run any rides because they all could be dangerous and required experienced operators.

You are so right about that last line. I can't imagine how tiresome it must be to run a merry-go-round for hours like that in town after town years on end. Hitting the pillow must be one of the best parts, perhaps after drinking a whole bottle of rotgut first.

The sights and sounds of a carousal,
will bring a smile from a frown.
A place where happiness abounds,
who doesn't like a merry-go-round?
