My Favorite County Fair

by

Kenneth R. Bays

When I was just 16, so many years ago,
I went to our county fair, to see all it's shows.
I seen the snakes and alligators, and a monkey with 3 tails,
I tried to knock the bottles down, but I would always fail.
Then I seen something that I just had to do,
But it took alot of courage, and some stupidity too.
It seems they had a bear there, that liked to wrestle men,
So I signed to fight him, and maybe even win.
My girlfriend was quite impressed with my coming bout,
But then my mother happened by, and she began shout.
It seems she didn't want to lose her youngest son quite yet,
But I just ignored her, but soon I had regrets.
The bear that I wrestled, he was kind of mean,
And it didn't take him very long to tear off half my jeans.
My head it was bleeding, my eyes they had some tears,
I was so embarassed, I tried to hide my fears.
If I had it to do over again, do you know what I would do?
I'd jump right back in that ring, how about you?
