Mardi Gras Trees

Today is Mardi Gras--the last horah before Lent!

Here is a cool poem from Jeffrey Pipes Guice, New Orleans, LA

I think that I

shall never see,,,

Anything as cool

as a Mardi Gras Tree

They grow in New Orleans

nearly every Spring,,,

As the bands start marching

in full swing,,,

The beads are flung

from near and far

As the revelers stumble

from bar to bar,,,

The tourists take selfies

with the trees behind,,,

On every block

these trees they find,,,

The Mardi Gras tree

is such a beautiful sight,,,

As the party continues

late into the night,,,

So whenever you visit New Orleans

and you find a Mardi Gras tree,,,

Make sure you post a selfie

for all of us to see
