Miss Carousel

P.a.m 2000 (Delta)

Dear miss carousel

Dear lady on wheels

When next you declare  another ride

Permit me stay by your side.

For I have no lover

To spin my body around

No loving Father

Nor cherished motherland.

I have been despised by the world

Miss whirligig,

My frame's trapped in the mud

Like an unclean pig.

I bid thee

Miss merry-go-round

Next Time

Take and spin me around.
