Scarborough Fair Poem by Paul Reed

Scarborough Fair

Rating: 4.2


"Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine"

Simon & Garfunkel


Somewhere within the dark confines,

Behind the flapping doors,

Set wriggling on it's tramway lines

The Ghost Train goes it's way once more;



The carousel whirls round and round

With painted ponies bucking and careering,

Set to the shrieks and screaming sounds

The grind of Victorian engineering;



In the corner the old penny arcade

Spring loaded buttons send ball bearings flying,

Timber cases proud though they fade

Memories of days never dying;



How precious the time, how fleeting spent

That Sunday with it's pleasures rare

How wonderful to be at that event

That afternoon at Scarborough Fair.
