Before Lent begins,
I devour a paczki —
A rich, jelly-filled pastry
To use up all that fat, cream and sugar
In the pantry.
It is a Polish tradition
And a good way
to celebrate Mardi Gras
wherever your roots
spring from.
On Fat Tuesday,
life’s a party!
I just discovered how to get to The Chipmunk and love your poem, Mardi Gras. Paczis sound delectable!! Barbara
