7331. SOMETIMES THEY DALLY

SOMETIMES THEY DALLY
And Johnny's too long at the fair. And the
movie plays over and over while 50 more 
people line up before the demolition derby 
starts at two. Damn do I love these county 
fairs. There's a guy with a monkey on a string. 
There's another fool who walks an elephant 
around in circles while kids pay five dollars 
to ride on big colorful blankets on the elephant's 
back. I'm not even an elephant and it seems like
slavery to me. I thought that shit was outlawed
long ago. Here's come the sweetest little kid, 
with a candied-apple on a stick. She's got a grin 
like the Panama Canal, after visiting the 4H 
pavilion and seeing all those chickens and
game hens and pigeons and birds.
