I see: Marvellous magicians doing maintaining magic
Cautious people in courageous cars
Towering tents lighting up the place
I hear: A huge band playing percussion instruments
Radical rolling roller coasters
Bellowing from millions of crowds
I feel: Jumping jolly joyful
Extremely irritated and horrendously hungry
Feet losing the solid cement
I taste: Toothpaste creeping down my empty throat
Stupendous strawberry ice-cream
Particularly perfect pies
I smell: Steaming salted hot chips
People’s stinky breath
Squished saturated oranges
