I jumped out of the car and closed the door behind me. I ran up the sidewalk towards the house where math camp was being held. A few other kids were also arriving then and I followed them into the house. I left my shoes with everyone else’s, by the door, and went inside. I sat down on the carpet where the other kids were sitting and we played a fun game called Sushi Go to start the day.

There are many different legends about how the fair came to be but the one I will be focusing on is the first story on the Puck Fair’s history tab on their website. The legend says that an English army lead by Oliver Cromwell were pillaging the areas surrounding the town of Killorglin.
When it was a rainy day and I had nothing much to do, I was thinking about my dreams and this is what I created to sing. Listen in the SoundCloud library here: https://soundcloud.com/user-28081890/good-time-just-wait-for-you
I wrote this piece thinking of something that should flow as a river. I didn't want the title to be "The River," but rather something that was more creative and easygoing.
