Bright, coloured lights, twinkling in the moonlight.
Loud, energetic music, blarred out into the night.
Smells of fast food pervades; intensifying my hungry plight.
I make a bee-line to the hot dog seller, and appease my appetite.

By moonlight, I saw youngsters kiss.
And old couples, hand in hand, all a bliss.
Some young children yawning; at the sleep they miss.
Above all my enjoyment, that nothing was amiss.
