Saw this parade yesterday at Lake Sumter Landing along with maybe 5000 or so other people.

Anyone have a poem/song about this parade?

It was complete with belly dancers, stilt walkers, clowns, retired NYC cops (one who used to be on TOTV), a Miss Leesburg, some tiny tot beauty queens, a Miss Senior Florida, bands, heavily decorated in green golf carts, guys in red beards, the Villages Cheerleaders, Vets, Disabled Vets, Diabetes Awareness people, a Scottish bagpipe brigade, Villages Property management, Hot Sweet Potatoes (Hot Seniors in nylon stockings), a Pole in the Marching Band, etc.

Before the parade passes by,
I am going to see belly dancing.
Before it goes on, and only I'm left,
I am going to see cheerleaders prancing.
Before the parade passes by,
I am going to see golf carts lancing.

By the time the parade ends,
There will be clowns doing the bends.
By the time the parade winds down,
There will be a beauty pageant winner
with an astounding gown.
By the time the parade reaches the finish line,
The Sumter County cops will have given some a drinking fine.
By the time the parade reaches the finish line,
More than 5000 will have made plans for where to dine.

As the crowd throws out the green beads,
The Villages Property Management will have signed dozens of deeds.
As the crowd pours water to cool off,
The Morse family will be watching the parade from the Landing Loft.
As the crowd finds ways to stay in the shade,
Some sure sweet deals will have been made.

When the last parade walker nears the last barrier,
The Stilt Walkers will need a carrier.
When the last parade walker nears the last barrier,
Many a St. Patrick's Day parade watcher will be so much merrier.
When the last parade walker nears the last barrier man,
Some of us may need our last ferryman.


Modifying "Before the parade passes by" from Hello, Dolly.

T'was was a parade, at LSL Square
Where Taltarzak went streaking, while enjoying fresh air
Much to his dismay, no one seemed to care
For no lass or laddie, saw he was bare

That's a funny little limerick. Good choice for St. Pat's Day.
