The Carnival of Mirth, where people flock to see

Scenes intriguing to the mind and filled with mystery

Games and rides for everyone, and children filled with glee

And circus clowns with grinning faces,

The shows are where they'll be

Popcorn, peanuts, gumdrops, elephants, lions, tigers and more

A monkey riding a unicycle, can you hear the crowd roar

All are welcome at the Carnival of Mirth,

Felons, creeps, a licentious whore

Excitement and laughter, mirror mazes and funhouses

But not a sight of gore

They gather round to see, both big and small

Piquing curiosity, the shows intrigue them all

Up on the stage just out of sight, something begins to crawl

The crowd moves closer, straining to see

Through the darkness set in by nightfall
