Wearing a mask
having no accountability
the perfect disguise
granting stability
There is a parade
floats in the street
mooching beer and food
so many material treats
The drive of a thief
life is a delight
grabbing a wallet
owner screams in fright
Overindulgence
a time filled with bliss
blending in with the revelers
happiness not to be missed
Midnight comes
the parade is over
time to repent
cure the hangover
Hanging the mask up
till the next year
time to be responsible
made it through clear

Laissez le bon temps rouler, eh?
Oui, cher 😊 Have a wonderful day!
I have an elaborate mask like that – for Halloween one year – it has feathers and paint and glitter. It’s beautiful. The imagery made me feel I was there participating. Nicely done.
Thank you. Those masks are indeed beautiful and fun to wear. Have a wonderful day!
