Luna Park

Sydney NSW AU Luna Park as it once was

Tear shaped falling from the sky
Remembered dreams no need to cry
Childhood memories of large ferris wheels

Fairy floss mounted on long sticks
The jesters and their sleight of hand tricks
Roller coasters that seemed to touch the sky
Halls of mirrors in those mazes we did try

Luna Park backdrop to Harbour Bridge
Hyde park bands free for all to see
Northern Beaches before the developers came
Tore out the hillsides now not the same

Toronga Zoo Sunday outings so true
The HMAS Melbourne parked below
Those times the people where so few
Now urban density Sydney so untrue

Cross town tunnels tollways abound
Thick black haze of pollution now surrounds
Grid lock in peak hours always found
Am glad I no longer live in that surround

Living for the country air that I can breath,
From the rat race I have taken my leave’
I wonder if all the computer systems failed
‘How many in the cities would survive or fail
