The Carnival
Big Fun® rolled into town last week ~ the carnival, of course.
With awesome rides and water slides (they even brought a horse!)
I watched them set up camp and settle in for seven days.
Erecting roller coasters like The Zipper and The Blaze!
Day one, I lost my favorite hat ~ day two, my new stuffed clown.
Day three, I lost my flip-flops while suspended upside down.
Days four and five, I lost six bucks in pocket change, and then,
Day six, I lost my toe ring (and my baby brother, Ben!)*
Day seven, after chowing down on carny food and punch,
I staggered off the Puke-a-Whirl and lost my corn-dog lunch!
I also lost my voice (I blame The Mega Milky Way**).
Can’t wait to watch the carnival roll out again today!
* I later found Ben trapped in a corner trying, unsuccessfully, to steer a Bumper Car.
