Mask

 
Should my masquerade mask fall Conscious suppression exposed, Naked as the day I was born Thrust into life's Mardi Gras

No Time Like the Prescient

   When monokus become molecules
     and Mardi Gras is Mata Hari
   Things start looking pretty scary, so

   If view arm an mis rist

Mardi Gras of Twenty Nineteen

Mardi Gras of twenty nineteen
Was the best parade I have ever seen
If anyone can top it, it will be New Orleans
Where I hope someday to become the Mardi Gras Queen

Mardi Gras

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.

Poindexter the Cat

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

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.

Falsehood

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.

Carnival

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."

Observing a Monster

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.

After Dusk

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.

Mardi Gras

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

Tats

With a tattoo of Dallas on one breast
She decided she wanted another
After a while she made a decision
To get a tattoo of Paris on the other!

A few weeks later at the Mardi gras
With no help from panels or committees 
She decided to rip off her blouse
And show everybody her cities!

Mardi Gras

New Orleans
Great fanfare
Parades and festivities
Flamboyance
Glamorous exuberance
Vivid colors
Feathers and costumes
Strings of beads
Strewn everywhere
Loud blaring music
Frenzied partying 
Right on through to
Shrove Tuesday

Empty Streets

Craving a poboy,
a women in Michigan
hangs her head and cries,
longing for a home
that no longer exists.

Dreaming of seafood,
Mardi Gras, snowballs
and jazz bands-
A man in Oklahoma
awakes in tears.

As one lonely jazz horn
floats a requiem
over empty streets,
and a pot of gumbo simmers
in a government issued trailer.

Going To Horror Land

We are going to Horror Land ha ha!
Her folks just returned from the Mardi Gras
Who named this amusement park Horror land?
Asked a man whose ideas were large and grand.

Person who created it for Halloween.
It’s the kind of place where most can scream.
The kids like everything about it said Ma.
So when we went, we had to take Pa.

Gucci Leopard

Gucci Leopard with a cha cha cha
Danced his rear off in the Mardi Gras
We laughed at his energy and his smile
So, he went off dancing, down the magnificent mile.

Buy me a George Rodrigue dog, someone yelled.
Gucci Leopard came running back because someone smelled.
He is a drag queen with a super sensitive nose.
Of course it leads him where ever he goes.

You Better Come Along

Music! Dancing! Beauties galore

The town will be full of all

After the King is chosen 

for the Mardi Gras Ball



March 8th, That's the day

When the King will rule the town

Close your eyes and sneak a peek

As the pants fall to the ground



So all you folks, come along

Join the crowd ... be witty

See all! Hear all! Know all!

Downtown, New Orleans City..

Universe Shut Down-

In the darkness thrives 
Our inner most lives
But chances robs flies
Like winged tigerskarks

In the light swings chandeliers
Clinging dragons Shangri-La
Story pictures of passion fears
Purpose-driven  ceiling fans Mardi Gras

Darkness. dies
Light cries
No more passion rights
Dragon fly tiger shark drones
Universe shutdown 
Good night

Mardi Gras

I love to go to Mardi Gras
And see the girls cast off their bra
As if it were their sole faux-pas
In dancing through their last hurrah

I do not know just where they went
I can not guess what charms were Lent
But I suspect the knight was spent
In screwing odds they might repent

You're sure to hear old-timers say,
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may"
But ashes mark the end of play
The fun begins on Judgment day!

Celebration Time

Mordechai took life way too serious
Esther told him 'twas deleterious
  She said, 'Let's celebrate'
  Jewish kids just can't wait
Call it 'Purim' ~ purely delirious!



________________________________
This Wednesday evening and Thursday
is a wild and wacky Jewish festival, 
Purim. It's kind of a Mardi-gras costume
affair, against a backdrop of life-and-
death in Ancient Persia... eerie under-
tones of Ukraine today, by the way.

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Home Is Where The Heart Is


Oh my goodness
"Lets Party, Family Reunion"
Family of 10

Its all good, we stay close knit
Look forward to cookouts
Mardi Gras here is a big hit

Our seafood is the best, fresh from the bayou
My moms the best cook
Shrimp boulettes, jambalaya, just to name a few

Born on the bayou, its in my blood
Could never leave here
Louisiana is where I spent my girlhood

Do You Believe In Easter?

Do You Believe In Easter?
Not colored eggs and treats.
But a crown of thorns on Jesus head.
Nails in His hands and feet.

Do You Believe In Easter?
Not Mardi Gras or ashes.
But Jesus who was crucified
And scourged with many lashes.

Do You Believe In Easter?
Not Peter Cotton Tail.
But Jesus Christ our Saviour
Who saved our souls from hell.

Do You Believe In Easter?
Not really knowing why.
Now you know the old old story.
Believe and receive everlasting life..

Captain America 23:2

Rocks Rico wore the turtle suit
his disguise hid the morbid truth

That he was known as the strangler
and lived his life with anger

When crooks ran from the cops
he would give them refuge non-stop

But they couldn't stay hidden long 
as they went to the mardi-gras for crime and song

And their rampage went aflaw
when Captain America came and saw...

That breaking the turtle shell
released everyone from his spell

Now Rico is behind bars
and Cap and Bucky are the stars
