Amusement

I've been to the fair..
and I've sat there..
watching The Twizzler 
go round..
Seeing the young ones
laughing..
and children putting on..
a brave face..
but hanging on..
for dear life..
Then there was one..
on his own..
A grey man sitting
in a carriage..
must have been sixty..
if a day..
He didn't want to be there..
He was bored..
and I thought.
Why does an old guy
want this amusement..?
which wasn't enjoyable..
He was staff !
He was there just for
BALANCE?
I think that's me..
I'm here..
in this life.
just for balance
