M A Y     F E S T I V A L

On May the sixteen, there was a May Festival.
Though it was scorching hot, most people had a ball!
Fresh tacos and Asian steamed rolls were delicious!
Grilled food and other items were quite nutritious.

With our eyes analyzing all ethnic dishes,
No person can consume as much as he wishes.
Eight dollars of food was what I usually spent.
NO roses were sold this year. How I missed their scent!

Thinking of a pun as I had fun in the sun,
I waited for a pork stick until it's well done.
"Horchata" was the exotic rice drink I tried.
It did quench my thirst as I ate chicken,deep fried!

I searched for the Korean and Armenian groups.
NO luck!  Oh, sweet ice cream looked great, scoops after scoops!
Cotton candy and a dunk machine were NOT there.
Yet, joy from most participants floated in the air!
