The Never Ending Fairground
Home to work
Work to home
The deep winter nights
Like being in an enormous fairground with many different lights
Traffic lights
Bright white car lights
Beaming in your eyes
Fairy lights
Twinkle and sparkle
I feel like I’m in a big dodgem car
On a never ending scalextric fast track
Driving on the manic speeding motorways
The dodgem car slowly on the congested bypass
Over the dark uneven country roads
Squashing the Sleeping Policemen
Driving on the roundabout 40 miles an hour speed
Finding a moving space
To fit on
Like a carousel
Moving off the roundabout with constant speed and grace
Keeping up to speed
Evenly spaced dodgem cars
In these dodgem cars on the scalextric track
Everyone dodging
Definitely no crashing
Manoeuvring quick and swiftly
Completing the scalextric track in my dodgem car
Home to work
To start the next day
In my dodgem car on the scalextric motorway
In this big fairground where we ride dodgem cars around many carousels
The never ending fairground
