Come with me to the sea
Where ferris wheels spin lovers
To the stars and Merry-go-round
Steeds gallop around the world
We’ll dip our toes into the waves
Feed french fries to the sea gulls
Then trace each other’s lips
With cotton candy fingers
I’ll toss rings until I win
The biggest prize for you
The big black bear with a red
Ribbon tied in a bow around its neck
Let’s have our pictured snapped
In a booth, making funny faces
Smiling with goofy grins, kissing
So we will remember in old age
Follow me to the water’s edge
We’ll spread a blanket on the sand
And feast on hot dogs until dark
Then wrapped in sun-warmed arms
Dream until tomorrow comes

Great poet to take to the fair. Once upon a time I had a record (yes, I’m old) of his poems and his wonderful voice. Most of my friends made fun of him. I miss him but not the friends ; )

I had a record too. I buy his books whenever I see them at used book sales.

Rod was too saccharine for me; my tastes ran to L. Cohen & Bukowski & Ginsberg & Snyder; but your lovely reflective & remembrance rocks the prompt gently, & it did hit one of my warm & fuzzy buttons.

Rod was my first love 😉 So taking him to the fair was nostalgic for me.
