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

When monokus become molecules
and Mardi Gras is Mata Hari
Things start looking pretty scary, so
If view arm an mis rist
It tim c optmtris

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

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.

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.

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.

Verse
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."

I do not know?
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.

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

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!

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

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.

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 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.

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..

Light Verse
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

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!

Verse
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.

Limerick
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?
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..

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
