Poem Artwork

$3.35 per pound for the
prize-winning pig
Going once, going twice...
Sold to the man
in the grey flannel shirt
with the red suspenders
Shes a beaut’ she is
make a fine cell-mate for
that lonely jihad terrorist...
'Eat this, prick’
Time now to mosey
on down the way
to the horticultural exhibit
Whooee didya see the size
of that Chrysanthemum
Off now to the Photography Pavilion
wow, pretty good stuff here
I loved the one with the camel
spitting into the little girls face
Man did you see her expression ?!
After we hit the Craft Pavilion
to look at the patchwork quilts
I think I’ll run down the way,
real quick-like,
and grab me another six dollar beer
Then its off to the midway honey
where I’m gonna win you
that stuffed animal no matter what,
even if it costs me two big ones
We’re not leaving without it damnit
It’s a big pink stuffed pig
with wings honey
You can bet there aint gonna
be no terrorists wantin’
to win that prize
$3.35 per ounce
and I'm a winner
No liquids on this flight
Yeah I’m getting chilly too
Let’s buy a blanket to snuggle under
while we watch the rodeo
Wow did’ya see that guy
get thrown right outta the chute
and take it square in the nuts
from that stompin’ bull
Ouch
I’m sure I’m enjoyin’ this
more than he is right now
Mmmm corn on the cob
Churros, cotton candy,
Tacos pescado, Tri-tip,
Bratwurst, Kettle-corn
An’ another six-dollar beer
Or two
Mmmm Mmmm
And we’re off to the poultry pens
Look at the size of that cock
I’m not into cocks
an' whatever’s good fer the goose
Ain’t always good fer the gander
Allllllrighty then
Time to say Bye Bye
A short walk down the sand
lay out our new blanket
and watch the fireworks
over the harbour
Mmm Mmmmmmm
Between un-pasteurized kisses
I pull your hot body
close to mine
and say
“I had a great time today”
You reply to the tempo
of your probing hand
“Mmm…The size of that cock”
and I think to myself
‘Thank god I didn’t have
another six-dollar beer’

Thank god. I remember seeing Minnie Pearle alone in the radio tent and Midway beer at 10 cents in a glass mug. Still, when I visited the Texas State Fair last year those memories flooded back and I felt compelled to write a poem about it.

It was worth ten bucks to see the sparkle in her eye when we scarfed that fresh pizza.

Actually this was my first county fair experience and I enjoyed every moment, especially snuggling under our new fluffy blanket at the rodeo and later on the beach.
...Snuggles

PS: I still can't get over the size of that cock! ;-) lol

I found this humerous and intriguing and I have been to county fairs :)

Dang, that never happened to me at a county fair. How far do I gotta go to get to yours?

Edwin ...

This reminded me of a 35mm black and white movie flickering in a darkened room. A pastiche of impressions forming a long sensory chain.

Good one ...

What a trip through a sort of fantasyland was this, Ed...Sounds fun especially the last few lines, ;) Ed

This was so hilarious I am still laughing, if it is irony I missed it for it sounds like it would be a great date...especially when the fireworks went off. Well done.

Haha!!! Gotta love it! You took us on a wild ride, and yes, I imagine you are glad you decided against that last six-dollar beer . . .
