The County Fair
Oh, let us see the county fair
(Forget the cost of living !)
Everybody will be there
To see the show they're givin
The beef steers broad, the corn
stalks tall,
The windmills humming gaily
The meek-eyed Jersey in the
stall,
The races pulled off daily.
We'll go a:nl sc-o the fruits ?nd
.era in
That farmers take a pride in,
And maybe find an aeroplane
That we can take a ride in.
We want to see the bread ind
cakes
And what the high school
teaches:
Examine all the plows and
rakes,
And note the blushing'peach
es.
To see the fair in days of yore
Was not an easy matter;
We had to rise at three or four,
And all was rush and clatter,
We'd feed and water Ding and
Dong
And hitch them to the surrey
But now "it rambles right
along"
, And gets there in a hurry".
