fairground nights
























SultryRose's Signatures






i remember nights at the fairground
they said twas the biggest in the land
there were booths in every corner
sounds of the rolling bands

the aisles were full of laughter
with sights for all to see
just a stones throw away from Upton
stretched out by the sea

the Ferris wheel was turning
the swish-back rides were fun
there were crowds of happy children
in wonder everyone

the stars above were sparkling
the bumper rides were joy
there were gypsy horses stalled there
with traveler's standing by
the wall of death was awesome
with bikes to catch your eye
hear the thuds of the hard balls flying
 at those coconuts shies

this was the traditional fairground
some said twas the biggest in the land
with darts forever flying
goldfish bags to carry in your hand
the bearded lady danced there
the midgets gave a show
 close to Poole old backwaters
where many breezes blowed

Freddie mills he boxed there
the Sherwood's were there too
with Stanley's and the crutchers
bill rogers played the fool
