Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras has finally come to town Bourbon Street is getting ready for the best party around Let the party begin as the neon lights get the revellers dancing through the streets Music from various artists with unique and powerful beats The windows and the doors from balconies fling open with no time to spare Brightly coloured beads fall through the night air Police on horses try to maintain crowd control Thousands of people enjoying their alcohol-fuelled stroll The street looks like a giant rainbow with all the colourfully dressed people abound The trek becomes an obstacle course with trinkets strewn across the ground I survived the night thanks to my wife who kept me in line Truly a night to remember until the end of time
