The yearly event that brought fun everywhere
It was time once again for the State county fair
There are musical acts and food stands galore
Games to win prizes and a funhouse to explore
Exciting thrill rides with names like Cobra and Wipe-out
That spin from great heights and make youngsters give a shout
But to some it means more than just good country fun
Some people enter contests with a goal to be won
Like Mrs.Pearl Johnson who mastered the art of pie making
Every year a blue ribbon was always hers for the taking
Tom Cooper’s prize livestock always drew a big crowd
Especially his geese in which he was quite proud
There were entries in tents from groomed bunnies to sweet fudges
That were all left alone just awaiting for judges
It was time to start choosing as the committee made its rounds
Picking all different winners throughout the fairgrounds
Suddenly a shriek came out of thin air
It wasn’t of fun that’s often heard at the fair
A large crowd of people ran over to see what caused such a cry
This scream of pure terror came from the tent with the pies
Everyone ran quickly and entered the tent
To see Mrs. Sullivan there looking like she had wept
On top of the table with its tail feather held high
Sat Tom Cooper’s goose covered in cherry pie
Seems he escaped from the tent in the back
Then waddled on over to enjoy this new snack
Some giggles broke out from a few kids in the crowd
Then Mrs.Sullivan joined in with her laughs being loud
A lesson was learned from this bird on the loose
Always checked a locked cage to keep your pie free of a goose
