Oktoberfest - Munich Madness

Welcome! everybody now Europeans, Italians and otherwise Wild birds all set to crow Intent on pretzels and gnocchi Liters of beer and wine prevail Local foods will make you drool Party-goers in the groove gear up Arriving with cheers - Huzza! Returning guests and those on tour Teetotalers too we will admit You are welcome; come and stay Lederhosen and dirndls, dress apparel Initial parade complete with confetti Kicks off the breweries' lark Every first Sunday, a costume parade Trendy tents offer entertainment Historic foods, mostly deutsch Even children enjoy rides and flume Reservations you will prefer Early evening tents may close Should safety cause concerns No first-timer can turn down Ox on a spit and all things potato Thrills last for more than a fortnight Oompah music always crescendo Munich Madness - groups perform Oktoberfest yodeling, give it a go Regulation insures your beer - Real German malt lager Official toast, “O'zapft is!” - Cheerio! We will party like there’s no tomorrow written as a double acrostic on November 7, 2016
