I'm so happy today
As I've gone on a lark.
My father just took me
To the amusement park!
Look at all of the balloons
Of red, and blue
And purple and brown;
Look at the great many lights!
So much to see-
Listen to the sound!
"Here comes the giant brass band!"
Calls my father as we stand.
They are with the parade
That stretches across the land.
I love all the bright streamers
And cartoon characters in it.
And the giraffes and lemurs-
Not too close- you might get bit!
Flying overhead
Is a plane with a banner.
Here's what it said:
"See horses at the manor!"
"What do you want to have to eat?"
Asks my dad as we find a seat.
"Cotton candy-- That's such a treat!
So tasty that it can't be beat!"
He returns with my candy
And an ice cream cone stacked to the sky
"Is there a napkin handy?
Cause after this I will have some pie!"
After we're done eating,
I bolt up to run.
Sitting is so fleeting-
So much to be done!
Wow, look at that rocket
As it blasts off into outer space!
I must be sure to dock it;
"C'mon Dad! I will run you a race!"
The attendant takes our ticket;
I'm just tall enough to ride!
I bolt over to the cockpit
My father sits by my side.
I land the craft safely and well
As the other rockets slow down.
My flight ended after the bell,
Sounded by the colorful clown.
"I feel a little sick," says my dad
"Let's start walking back home."
"Aw come on, It can't really be bad!"
I say as I do roam.
Oh well, that's okay:
Look at what a day!
All day did I play!
"We'll come back!" I say.
As I've gone on a lark.
My father just took me
To the amusement park!
Look at all of the balloons
Of red, and blue
And purple and brown;
Look at the great many lights!
So much to see-
Listen to the sound!
"Here comes the giant brass band!"
Calls my father as we stand.
