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.

I found this humerous and intriguing and I have been to county fairs :)
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 . . .
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.

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 ...
