Having A Mardi Gras A Lyrical Celebration <br /> <br />Ta Ta <br />Ra Ra <br />We're having a Mardi Gras. <br /> <br />Lights like many a candlebra, <br />A parade with a big hurrah. <br /> <br />Beads, doubloons and trinkets <br />In purple, green and gold, <br />As the celebration does unfold. <br /> <br />People with names like Terra <br />And Sarah, <br />Bourgeois and Francois. <br /> <br />Ta Ta <br />Ra Ra <br />We're having a Mardi Gras. <br /> <br /> <br />Masquerade balls, masks and costumes, <br />Decorations, fragrances and perfumes. <br />There is a King Cake, <br />That many make. <br /> <br />Eating boudain and talking the blah blah, <br />Laughing in the ha ha. <br /> <br />Blah, blah, <br />Ha ha, <br />We're having a Mardi Gras. <br /> <br />Food from the soul, <br />Like gumbo and shrimp creole. <br /> <br />Red beans and rice, <br />Jambalaya to eat more than twice. <br /> <br />Lots of music and jazz, <br />Marching bands and parties of pizzazz. <br /> <br />Ta Ta <br />Ra Ra <br />We're having a Mardi Gras.<br /><br />Alfreda Doyle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/having-a-mardi-gras/
