Carniverous Carnival

Carnival without merit, affinity, and association Brash, bellowing band bleeting notes in oscillation Circus creatures cavorting about with every unseemly provision Cascading, carnival chorus clanging through every subdivision Haughty, kilted henchmen trotting in front of the procession Decadently-dressed damsels fawning at mock adulation Coarsely-clad clowns tromping along in derision Freaky, festooned floats fluttering through every alley and intersection Ghastly garlands strewn about with every drunken petition Teaming, throbbing townspeople on marauding mission Corrupt Councilors culled and paraded about in degradation Frugal, free-loading foragers scraping up every token donation Vacuous, votive vendors profitting from their abnegation Ebullient, enterprising entrepreneurs scalping without aversion
