Mardi Gras
When Tuesdays are Fat
And Cakes are Tri-Colored
The Food and the Family
The Friends and their Mothers,
All Gather to Eat to Dance to Play
All in the Honor of Mardis Gras Day.
Catch the Most Beads
Snatch the Most Toys
Be Selfish for Once
And Share all your Joy!
Attend all Parades
For Tradition or Fun
Set up a Party
Invite Everyone!
When Old Friends meet New Friends
Or Ex-Friends make Ammends
Bring them Together so you can Say
Let’s all have Fun on this Mardis Gras Day!
