"The County Fair" by Marilyn Lott

Don't'ca just love a county fair
There's so much that you can do
Exhibits of everything under the sun
Booths of delicious food too

I enjoy the animals large and small
As I walk down through the isles
From horses and cows to adorable sheep
They fill your heart with smiles

There's something about that atmosphere
And the excitement a fair will bring
So every year about this time
I enjoy them with their festive ring
