So here's to Happy Tubby Tuesday,
The big New Orleans jazz & blues day,
With the drunken revelers en masse...
On second thought, let's give it a pass.

I have given up for lent
Pate de fois gras
Lobster thermadore
And Beluga caviar
Well in a way 
I’ve never had them ever
But I won’t have them
Between now and Easter...

No way I could go to Oahu without my cat she said.
Poindexter is in full agreement, he nods his head.
Gets out his brochures and points with his paw.
And he says “Let’s go during Mardi Gras”....

Masquerading couple did the cha cha cha
They were here for New Orlean’s Mardi Gras.
We saw them coming and we gave them a gentle wave.
Their waltz was original, inspired, and extremely brave....

He traveled down from Arkansas,
To New Orleans, for Mardi Gras.
"One evening of abandonment,"
That's what his trusted friends say,
"He frolicked on Fat Tuesday night,
And repented on Ash Wednesday."...

His head is monstrous said the withered hag with a bit of awe.
I did not know who she meant, until I turned and saw….
A colorful creature dressed like the Mardi Gras
You are right I said to my observant mother, Maw....

A roaring laughter of all walks of life;
The glittering faces and the salsa beat 
Of Mardi Gras, seals the two-way lane 
With such unrelenting hope;
With maturity and humanity; 
That is shown, elegantly, after dusk....

I once met a girl from Niagara   
who made a great pate de foi gras
with fatty goose liver
and truffles, a sliver; 
and a whole spoonful of Viagara.

Ein junger Fuchs / A Young Fox / Un zorro joven  

Ein Leuchten im Gras
Auf der Jagd in der Sonne
Ein junger Fuchs


A glow in the grass
On the hunt in the sunlight
Only a young fox 


Brillo en la hierba
A caza en luz del sol
Un zorro joven...

Fitting like second skin,
far better than what he
finds in the closet. Now 
feathered, a Mardi Gras;
floating on dance of lies.
False hopes of romance masked,
For this man's lonely schemes.

Escargot, brie, foie gras
Fondue, confit, caviar 
Black tuxedo, evening dress
Handsome, gorgeous, do impress 
Opera in the royal hall
Afterwards a regal ball
Doors held open, jacket spread
Elegance and chivalry not dead...

Beads fly by
Kids grab for candy
Bands play Jazz
Spangled girls
Sweat and sugar sticks to me
Laughter fills the air 

Catch the beads
The floats go by us
Look at that
Wonderful
What a way to welcome Lent
First one last Beginet
