Carnival 2026

Like Mardi Gras, only cheesier…

cheap rides in the town square,

Chinelos, locals dressed in costumes 

mocking their conquerors, dancing

for hours on end to Mexican oompa

music.

They’re trying to curb the drinking 

in town which is more than excessive,

but drinkers will drink…maybe they’ll 

be a few fewer deaths, but there’s always

a handful.

I’m glad they know how to party, enjoy

life, which America needs to learn more…

too serious up there, all about the money.

People up Norde retire but never can relax.

It took me ten years or more to finally let

go of my intense plumber persona.

You can learn from anyone.
