Hull fair

Hull fair

October and it arrives,
Hull fair is a family thing,
As children parents take you,
Teenagers you go with mates,
As adults you take your kids,
I've not seen in years now,
No grandchildren you see.

In my life time it's always arrived and I'm 55,
I still remember the sights, sounds and shouts of joy,
Hull fair brings it all to all ages there is nothing around to compete,
In 1993 it was the 700th anniversary and still going strong.

Only twice had it closed in all that time,
For WW1 and WW2 because illuminations could be seen,
It's never closed again it's always arrived in Hull down Walton street,
This year 2020 will see it closed once again,
Due to a war with covid 19,
Hull will welcome you next year ....... hopefully.
