Charlie and Caren At the Parade

Charlie and Caren at the Thanksgiving parade Eyes pop, agog at the wonderous cavalcade The bedazzling queen Of the rodeo scene Wearing crimson of Curiously clashing shades More Characters come - a mesmerizing mermaid Her tail, twisted teal on aqua brocade Long seaweed hair is keen To adorn with sardines A Cartoon come to life in a costume home-made The final platoon's music arrives to invade With brass horn harmony ringing, perfect pitch played The high school bands Careen 'Round horses plops o'green Marching in step to honor turkey day's Crusade. 11/24/18 for Charlie's Cartoon...contest sponsored by Caren Krutsinger

Michelle, congratulations on your win! Everyone loves a parade, and you've made it "pop" for us. We can see it, hear it, and even smell it (sardines :) Also love the alliteration sprinkled throughout. ~Mark

Fortunately, my sister - a self-proclaimed authority on colour clash - did not attend your parade, so you have accomplished an excellent report. Good luck! Aloha! Rico

I LOVE the way you worded this- so brilliantly penned! And the part about the rodeo queen "Wearing crimson of Curiously clashing shades" made me smile, remembering similar scenes from parades in my old hometown! Well done, my friend! ;D
