Poem: A Famosa

For two hours we have waited, with the cheese tarts along.
Another two have gone, when we were finally there to launch.
It was a day for all, where the children had fun with pillows and balls.
With innocent faces, they asked for more, where the sweets hidden in dust.
Adults were building up teamwork with the crowd cheering at one corner.
A competition it was, to the hampers and prizes, not losing faces.
And there we ended eight hours under the sun, moving on to the next.
To enjoy ourselves to the fullest, with whatever we had.
Travelling from one end to another, we went through the sceneries and views.
Not forgetting the time we spent, knowing each other better.
A whole new experience indeed, with a different circle of people.
Middle aged behaving like a teen, barrier between races is taken off.
We ate, we sang, we shouted, under the sun and stars.
Together we cut off the jaw of centipede, lifted up by elephant and had snake around.
The time moved on, whether we like it or not, to the departure for all.
Back to where we originally started, we left the vehicle.
With the pictures and memories being stored, we took a turn and headed home.
