There is a hype for this coming weekend party
Set for Saturday at popular Spring Garden
When a rope is pulled by the hale and hardy
And a large chariot hits the street using no carbon
Cleaning the environment with song and dance
Is an old tradition from the quite far east
India, to be specific, where you hear many chants
Play hard, throw colours, and always feast
Movement of many hands and many legs
The chariot wheels will go for a full roll
All held together by state-of-the art pegs
Love will be in the air, free is the fare
It’s a draw, come one and come all
Families, singles, couples in summer wear
Do not hesitate and do not stall
Get fit, Haligoniac, and get lit
The food will be good, smoothies too
You won’t levitate but elevate a bit
Yogis and bhogis need not be blue
At noon, the 3rd Annual Festival of Chariots
Starts Saturday, June 15, Garrison Grounds
For toddlers, teens in-betweens, elderly, edgy, variants
Sunday too, some place for sweet sights, tastes, sounds
