At the Fair

I met a man when I went to the fair

With huge blue eyes and bright green hair

Because he talked from the back of his head

It was fairly difficult to hear what he said

 

Although candy-floss was his special treat

He found it awfully difficult to eat

Because with his mouth being way back there

Floss got tangled in his lovely green hair

 

Having gone to his barber to get his head shed

They found beneath, the hair was all dead 

But they did see writing, where it plainly said

When walking across, please softly tread

 

It was finally a magician who came to his aid

Tho’ from candy-floss, he’s still hasn’t strayed

But she made it much easier for him to be fed

By relocating his mouth onto the top of his head

 

Ever since then life has been a much easier deal

Although he must stop thinking as he has a meal

And he is now less concerned when people stare

Since he’s become the main attraction at the fair

To the top of his head, you say? Might have helped with the candy floss, but I'll bet it's hell on the hatbands.

A definite possibility, however I understand it eliminates the need to swallow
