Fairground Memory

Symphony of onions sizzling.
Burnt sausages sing
under blood-red sauce.
A hymn of a hotdog
guzzled in greasy-chinned relish.
Pink riffs of candy floss
floating on splintery sticks.
Dirge of diesel engines pumping
Cliff and Elvis music thumping.
Rides and slides, twirling, swirling
Improbable coconut shies.
'Rifles! Rifles! Shoot to kill,'
Hear the barker's cries.
Tailored Teddy boys sport their quiffs
to stilettoed girls ripe for a feel and a squeal,
suspenders flying, knickers revealed.
