Fridays 5 minute poem


Fairest of the Fair


Some say that June is gloomy,
the coastal clouds stay late,
until the morning's almost gone,
three hours after eight.

But I'm all bright and sunny,
cause I anticipate,
the Del Mar Fair that's coming,
and I can hardly wait.

I check the paper,
for all that's new this year,
who's here to play or sing a song,
and food that goes with beer.

This year it's ZZ Top that's hot,
The Village People too!
And Hall and Oates are on the stage,
a "Fairable" who's who!

There's pigs that race and monster trucks,
guys junping motorbikes.
Why, something for most everyone,
to fit just what one likes.

It all ends up with fireworks,
a concert by the band.
We all stand up, salute the flag,
and give the troops a hand.

The "Fairest of the Fair" presides,
a pretty, local girl,
so June seems not so gloomy,
just give the Fair a whirl!
