The September Horse Fair

The freshness of Autumn in the morning air

And the smell of horse in the Millstreet Town  Square at the September Fair

Horse buyers from all over Ireland in search of their bargain buy of the day

For to make the long journey for them to Millstreet Town to financially pay

With the approach of Winter and not doing financially well

Most of the sellers their horses were anxious to sell

Money changed hands with handshakes when deals were done

Among seller and buyers at horse fairs satisfaction is not with everyone

In Ireland in the twenty first century

Horse fairs are no longer the big attraction they used to be

The passing of time change with it always does bring

And what used to be popular is no longer an in thing

In view of Clara in the countryside where the waterways meet

The September Horse fair in the Town of Millstreet

Was a big occasion in the long ago

Going back in time thirty years or so.
