Merry-Gone-Round

Why do
I ride this
merry-go-round
whyWhyWHY?
they ride
I ride
they hop off
I ride
the lights dim
I ride
round aRound
while the music
spools down
I ride

goes home
I ride
and now I see
now I know
I see the
brass ring
up for grabs –
YES!!
Free Ride!

I could literally see the lights flashing and hear moan of the calliope... and your ending left me smiling. *S*

Sometimes we go in circles not knowing where we're going... and find ourselves in exactly the right place... yes. *S*

Your pen is producing perfect gems.  *S*
