The Fair

By Drew Dudley
Chelsea Public School, Grade 11

When the fair comes town
Excitement rises
But why?
The music, lights, people.
It’s all there is one spot
Continuously running into people you know
Meeting new faces.
The food
Delicious and full of grease.
But still
It’s all eaten.
The lights when night begins to fall
Filling the sky
Almost as if it’s day
Letting the world see everything.
The rides
For all ages
The rush of excitement for 90 seconds
The wind in your face
Not knowing where you’re going to end.
But at midnight
The excitement ends there
But still
The memories of the day and night linger.
