Chinese New Years Parade
Cherry trees bare of blossoms
Buds still tight in the trees
A time of pure delight
For every eye to see,
A small flag in every hand
Fresh toasted nuts at every stand
Glee from each new sight
Every child oh, so happy,
Cane in hand
The leader starts the bands
Round each and every street
The families all turn out
Which and what
And if they doubt
If his Royal Highness
Will be in their company,
As the dances start
Races each loyal heart
Raised chairs bring more company
The trumpet plays
Everyone stays
The dragons dance
Parents forge for new romance
If you hear the harp
Then every one parts
Making room for new company
Confussing is the art
Cause once the tubas start
Every one is to dart
To the north side of the street
Watch your feet..
Theres a rat to greet
Sir didn't we already meet,
Last year over west side of the street?
Choirs sing from the heart
Now were all in the dark
As fireworks lead us to the park
Off in the distance a dragons bark
Followed by a New Years lark
There sure is a lot to see
Here on the street
Chinese New Year
Lanterns yet to see
13th
My ideas come from enjoying actual Chinese New Years celebrations in several countries. The celebrations are magical and each one different but a like ~ all with sinifigant difference. Celerating this king or that dynasty is fun in a historical manor.
