The fair, part two

Sometimes it's nice to win. That's all.
It's just nice. It's a little county
fair and it's a silly ribbon, but it feels
good. I won a best of show for my mixed media
art and Jay won a blue ribbon
for his "Nappy time for Stan."







We are full of ourselves and
think we may be artists
and it's made us slightly kinder people,
but probably just for today. And I'm safe
in the knowledge that I never, ever have to ride
on the tilt-a-whirl again.
