John Lambremont Sr.
A Big Fibonacci (an acrostic)
FearIdes
Before
Old March days,
Now Fat Tuesday plays;
Ascends King Rex, mirth incarnate;
Captains and couriers of his Krewe throw down doubloons;
Costumed revelers crowd the streets for throws, drink steadily flows, wild hi-jinks in scanty clothes;
In the morrow, not much sorrow, Lent descends, must make amends, try to stir your sleeping friends, streets are swept, piled-up neglect, best Mardi Gras yet.
