Another prompt inspired by Voices of Lincoln Poetry Contest. Deadline: July 25, 2015
Writing Prompt: Unforgettable . . . or . . . Strange But True
Laffing Sal is “one of several automated characters that were built primarily to attract carnival and amusement park patrons to funhouses and dark rides throughout the United States. Its movements were accompanied by a raucous laugh that sometimes frightened small children and annoyed adults.” Wikipedia
One version of Laffing Sal currently resides at Playland-Not-At-The-Beach, which I had the “pleasure” of seeing and hearing recently at a friend’s birthday party.
She definitely scared me as a child. I tried to avoid her when my family went to Playland-at-the-Beach in San Francisco, California.
