Do you have the poetic buzz of the Mardi Gras fever? Try writing a poem based on the celebration of this festival! Celebrate responsibly and by all means...have fun!

Here is a Mardi Gras poem we came across from Bridgitte Williams called The Official Mardi Gras Poem!

Welcome, Fat Tuesday.
Throw your cares away!
Hand me that King's cake.
It's time to celebrate!
You get the baby.
I get the wine.
The gumbo, the shrimp.
We are going to have a good time!
All the colored beads.
Too many lights to see.
The bands are playing.
The music is so sweet!
And, we are dancing.
This night is meant to stay.
We will always remember.
Happy Mardi Gras Day!
Never stop partying.
Never.
Best Mardi Gras…
Ever!

Happy Mardi Gras!
