Street Artists painting Joy
Kids dancing and swimming in a fountain ahoy
Ladies braiding kiddies hair
and one small boy
sat on the pavement to listen to the drum
of the Saints go Marching In
Sung by the street band and clarinet
Your mommies let you kids get all wet!
Your mommies let you kids get all wet!
Dancin in the fountain on a hot summer day in May
and watching the stiltwalkers in their bright array
Ballerina on a moving piano like a music box
and clowns on stilts do the fox trot
Jugglers dangled chairs from the tip of their nose
and a band of roosters played trombones
Joie de Vivre, Joie de Vivre
like all the poets said
is still alive and well if you are not yet dead
So grab a crepe and slide and shake to the
street band, roosters, clowns and jugglers contorted
you might get a glimpse of a mysterious guest from
the US Supreme Court!!
(photos taken at the French Festival for PassportDC -Embassy Open House season in May, appearing are Roland Celette, Cultural Attache of the French Embassy in Washington, Supreme Court Justice Breyer, and an assortment of acts and guests on the grounds of La Maison at the French Embassy.)
What does this remind you of? The Sisteen Chapel Michelangelo hand of God touching Adam maybe?
