DEPARTURE OF THE CAROUSEL by LOTUS J. COSTIGAN

First Line: THE MERRY-GO-ROUND / LIKE A GIANT PUZZLE
Last Line: IN A TURBULENT, MUSICAL CARAVAN!

The merry-go-round,
Like a giant puzzle,
Is taken apart and packed in the van;
Here a waving tail --
There a shining muzzle.

But once a circle of chargers ran
In dappled pairs at a furious pace,
Neck and neck, an endless race,
In a turbulent, musical caravan!
