Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.
Here is today's photo prompt
We thank Mom Pam for all the effort she puts into finding
these lovely photos for us.
State Fair
this is a true story
Every October the State Fair comes to town
As a child, my excitement was hard to keep down
Ferris wheels, roller coasters and giant slides
Even a bearded lady was said to reside.
Food galore was everywhere
Hot dogs, cotton candy, and popcorn and so much more.
When you are five,
mixing, cotton candy and hot dogs is not advised
Within minutes my fun took a dive
Off to the first aid station they did drive
I broke out in the worst case of hives
but thankfully I am still alive.
***************
Note:
Since I had eaten many hot dogs in my five years, it was quickly determined
I was allergic to cotton candy or possible the dye in it.
Today's photo prompt
reminded me so much of a picture I have on our office wall.
It was taken in ~1988 by one of my favorite Chemistry graduate students from France.
It was his first trip to the N. C. State Fair. This was way way before digital cameras.
All the pictures he took were with slides easy to travel with and develop.
When he showed me the photos he took,
I loved the slide so much he turned it into a photo for me.
Breaking News!!
Today is going to be trying. Gottcha Covered is coming at
1:30 to install sunscreen shades on the skylight over my Loo and in my Blog office.
I hope and purr I don't need to use the Loo.
Once the sun screen shade is in place there won't be any more
wild and crazy shadows lurking in my loo.
We are told the installer is quick as greased lightning.
Then to add insult to injury......I have my Senior Wellness Physical ...@3:30 pm
I will sing the song of my people all they way there (10 minutes) and back.
I suspect there will be a blood letting to check on my kidney values and I know
there will be at least one vaccine. I will try to be brave.
Of course we'll share my visit with you all later.
