~~*~~*Mardi Gras- written by Regina O.B., February 24, 2004, 6:40AM,

Masks and beads.
Shouts and screams.
"Beads! Beads!"
Are shouted throughout the streets.

Masked figures
Among the moving floats,
Bundle up the beads
And throw to those in the streets.

Downtown is where it all happens-
Bacchus, Zulu and Rex
The floats that make you
Look in wonder.

The King and Queen
The loveliest of all-
They sit on their thrones
And wave to all.

Hours of fun.
Hours of joy.
The excitement starts at dawn
And never ends at all.

Whatever am I talking about?
What festival has this much in awe?
Why it's the French celebration,
Whose name is Mardi Gras.

A/N: I do not know of Rex or his Queen, but I do know that Elijah Wood is
King of Bacchus! *happy happy happy dance* ^_^
