Flashing lights, the carousel rides, The games, the popcorn, laughter in the air, The bright baloons, the smiling buffoons, The exotic sideshows that are there. That's all meant to distract you, To make you blind to all that's wrong, So take care and beware, Or in an instant, you may be gone. No part of you will ever be found, Evil leaves no waste, Though to tell the truth, they prefer the youth, Because they like the way innocence tastes. Some will eat, some will drink, Some will just watch the pain, And there's a few, that will do, Things a sane man can't explain. So keep your loved ones close at hand, And a sharp eye on the clowns, For this autumn night is filled with fright, The Carnival of Evil is in town. Paint Shop Pro 9. Guesstimated actual painting time, around 20-22 hours. The inspirations for this entry, are some of the unsavory characters that I've seen at carnivals, throughout the years. Thank you, very much for looking.
