merry-go-rounds and carousels ŠThorbArt2006

I heard the distant music
like a cry upon the wind
sending tingles into my nether parts
how not to follow with all my heart

the lines , the colours , the flying flags ,
the chick , the dudes , even the fags ,
waiting oh so excitedly
giggly smily like when they were three

I felt so funny deep in my shoes
my toes were curling even with my blues
nothing would satiate this driving urge
so of course its a given to go and splurge

lay down the cash, try not to crash
into that body at the back of the que
hold my place at this snales pace 
well I guess for now it will have to do
 
until someone official opens the gate
letting us through to stop the wait
into the ride we follow the tide of bodies
flow with the going concerns in the lobies

Swallow that food before you get on
for as we go round and round so long
it may just go down then up and around
until it's splattered across the ground

Now don't let them say your a fairy
don't let them laugh and go hairy
when they see how much you care
how much you love the fair

Say its the Pied piper cyndrome
caught by tunes standing alone
you can't ever resist those sounds
of carousels and merry-go rounds.
