Mardi Gras:
Indians come out and fill our eyes with color
As we watch them march down our streets in the many multi-colors
Little children reach up and scream “throw me something!”
As those on floats throw every little thing
Beads in the trees remain
As we try and refrain from going insane back at school
Of the three week party we will never feel ashamed
Because at the end of the day this is our city
New Orleans knows how to party
We let the good times roll
Mikaela, age 15
