Annie - Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras Down in New Orleans

Mardi Gras down in New Orleans

There’s laughter and cheering

The screaming of ‘Throw me something mister’

People dancing, and singing

Running to catch floats that have your family riding on them

Mardi Gras Indians dancing through the streets

Friends coming over at all times of the day or night

That is a Mardi Gras Down in New Orleans

There is no better place or celebration better than that

Annie, age 16
