Mardi Gras a celebration to behold
Over hundreds of years old
Drunken exhibitionists fit the mold
Green, purple, and gold
Color of beads to hoard
Pink flamingoes galore
Time to trade tales of yore
for both rich and poor.
Rich and evocative
Took me back to my visit to New Orleans- hot, humid, diverse, rich, poor, earthy, colonial with a party vibe bubbling underneath waiting to boil over at sundown
too short Alice, you started to send me to carnival and then i came home, more please x
