Lightening Strikes Close County Fairs

30 lines

During the summer
Across the land
County and state fairs
Are all the rage.

Offering lots
Of amusement, carnival
Fun and games
For all ages

Among the many delights
Are the fresh honeybee-made honey,
From local aviaries.

And of course, corn dogs
Burgers and other unhealthy
But great tasting American food.,

The county fairs make a big
Impression on Foreign Visitors
Seeing it as a manifest of Americanism.
At its best and worst.

But this summer
Some country fairs.
Have been canceled.
Due to lightning strikes
And fears of wildfires

As visitors flock,
To the haunted castle
To have a cold beer.
And escape the smoky air.
Outside.
