Carnival-ly Challenged
Contest Entry Rhythm & Rhyme Carnival from kid's perspective

Shiny coated apples lined up in rows,           
Cotton candy in light blue and pale pink,           
Funnel cakes dusted with sugar and nuts,     
And popcorn and peanuts, I think!                           

The smells of the Midway assault my nose, 
Causing my tummy to roll and rumble.         
Especially after I dared to ride                       
The  coaster called “Devil’s Tumble”. 

Why did I venture? Why would I not stay       
On the ground instead of just hopping in?   
Now my stomach is churning and I feel         
Like my head is starting  to spin!       

Right now I have to get out of this place;     
A location that won’t rock, swing or sway
I’m going to explode, and lose my lunch! 
Guess for now, I’ll call it a day.       

Why did I listen to all of my friends?         
I am certain, it has brought me sorrow!   
I’m going to be sick tonight,  I know,     
But I'll be right back tomorrow!
