Cordell On Parade Poem by Marilyn Lott

Once the pumpkins are harvested
Astonishing things will take place
Parades are pulling together
Right in our downtown space

For it is then that the holidays
Begin to come on the scene
Folks gather for the festivities
It is truly an autumn dream

Tractors bright and shiny
With excitement in full force
Parade down the main street
Behind a carriage and horse

The children cute as buttons
Will ride in a pumpkin float
Dressed in their brilliant orange
Enjoyment is what they promote

It’s a fun-time yearly occasion
That we look all forward to
Bright with joy and excitement
I’m sure you will enjoy it too!
