I always rather bar —
A bazaar.
I simply cannot bear —
A fancy fair.
I’m not keen —
On dancing on the green.
An olde Englyshe revel —
Is the very devil.
I just won’t go —
To a baby show.
I particularly dislike —
A decorated bike.
But the thing I absolutely hate —
Is a common or garden fete.
(Cicely Fox Smith)
