Mardi Gras Candy and King Cake


Time for carnival

a fun time of year

filled with bold colors

time of cheer


During the parades

beads and candy are thrown

adults acting like children

even though they are grown


My favorite snack

is the king cake

filled with cream cheese

I can hardly wait


Warm from the oven

the sugar of gold, purple, and green

melting down the sides

wonderful with ice cream


With all the parties and balls

speaking with candor

this season of celebration

is filled with glamour


Happy Mardi Gras

hope you enjoy

the sights and sounds

collect many beads and coins
