Twas the Day before the Fair
And all through my brain
I could only see the midway
The food and the grain.

I snuck into the grounds
As quiet as a mouse
Rode around in my truck
And admired my house

“Home” I was;
I felt it near
Watching folks set up
hot tubs and beer

At the restaurant called Speaches
Near rustic old gate four
The entire U.S. Attorney’s office
Celebrated their recent score

Oh how they argued,
Suddaby too
Whether for ice cream or hotdogs
Will it be Heids? Oh What to do.

Back and forth,
these lawyers did snap
as they discussed and negotiated
all this meaningless crap

in the end they did settle
half would go here and half there
now the problem they found
was deciding was in whose car went where

I gave up on this drivel
I wanted to see more of the Fair
So I left my fine colleagues
Who ended up … dunno where.

I should warn you dear friends
Of the first lesson I learned
Be careful where you shop
Or your wallet will get burned

I was thirsty and tired
Needing a drink to stay alive
A large coke I did order
Three bucks and twenty five

So nevermind on the soda
And all the overpriced crap
That aint what’s the Fair
It all happens in every lap

So I bid you good day
As I head off to play
And welcome the Fair
To a Glorious Day.
