fun fair - Easter

Hampstead heath - Fun Fair 8.4.12

the adverts went up,
this is one for the community to share,
heading into the the evening,
why was it empty at the fun fair.
the stalls are open,
and the staff are handy,
but no transactions are happening,
sitting on the shelves are the pink candy.
the music is thudding,
at full volume Hampstead is dancing,
but customers are lacking,
this experience needs enhancing.
a few of the machines lift,
watching makes my heart race,
everyone is upside down,
a non spinning world has no trace.
the arcades are empty,
the fruit machines were lonely,
is this because of the time of day,
or is it the recession and if only.
i will see next Bank Hoil,
if it is busier and flowing is the wonga,
but if it is anything like Easter,
i can not see Hampstead Heath fun fair running for much longer.

(any fairs where you lot live ? did you go ? was it fun ?)
