Though heroes and myths are the thing
That make Wagner's operas sing,
It was just having seen
The mini doughnut machine
That inspired his cycle of the ring.

J. Miller, St. Paul, MN


It's FAIR to say Sousa's endeavor
To munch while conducting was clever:
He took his baton
And stuck frankfurters on.
No more Mr. "Starves-and-Gripes-Forever"!

Dwight Scott, St. Paul, MN


Folkies know State Fair talents abound
Ostroushko's songs have a great sound
For pickin' potatoes
Pete's people are greatest
Because they're built low to the ground.

Martha Hewitt, New Brighton, MN


At the Fair, Schubert started to fret -
A commission but no ideas yet.
"Just CLUB me!" he wailed,
Then saw fried TROUT impaled,
And went straight home to write a quintet.

Dwight Scott, St. Paul, MN
