1141

The following is but a tiny sampling of children masquerade along The Western 
Main Road in St James yesterday
Image: a quadrille
Wrought from imagination
A dragon
Or princess
Is creative business

Bringing much fun
In the sun
And great joy
To both girl and boy

There is wire bending
And attention spending
Sequins to stick on
The list goes on and on

Then the parades

    You take the simple elements of parade/madi gras and turn it imaginatively, magically, wonderful.
