ABC’s at the County Fair
By C Jyl Parker
Another travel day rolls
By, another
County fair to try.
Deep-fried oreos, cotton candy
Everyone says this place is dandy.
Fair parades are great for all,
Goats and ponies
Have a ball.
It’s fun to play
Just stay all day.
Keep kids in
Line and take your time.
Merry-go-rounds
Need tickets and sounds.
On and off we hop, then get yourself some soda
Pop.
Quickly
Run to the next ride.
Showtime now when bulls get
Tied.
Until you’re tired and
Very hot,
We’ll search around for
“X marks the spot.”
Yes, we’ll have a blast at the county fair.
Zucchini bread! Give me a share.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
