Found an old puzzle somebody had quit
Tried a few pieces and hoped that they fit
But they’re going together so slowly
It may take me forever to know
If it’s only a puzzle

Parts of the puzzle will never be found
And even though pieces are gone

It’s a county fair picture
Part of me’s there
Some of the pieces are still at the fair
And it may be forever
