Tinkers Park

After the nightPhoto of various traction engines Came the first light A bright blue skyPhoto of classic cars including an 80s Ford Escort Quite cold but dry

We’ve got to sayPhoto of a train on the Great Bush Railway It’s a fine day As we embarkPhoto of a fairgound organ To Tinkers Park

Where an arrayPhoto of a cat riding on a man’s shoulders Was on display Engines in steam Polished to gleam

Lots of traction Was in action Round the outside A train to ride

And there to view Cars old not new Some I recall When I was small

We heard the sound Of the fairground By music made On organ played

But what was that? Oh, yes, a cat On the man’s back That’s quite a knack!
