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.
