Top of Carnival

good morning
living on the top
of a small island
on top of carnival
the highest point
nothing to get you there
but boredom and rum
getting in shape for the climb
spending dollars
for the long trek
upward
let the children witness the climb
for they are to follow
the technique for the coming years
will remain the same
they must master the climb
year after year
to the top
where all sins can be released
burying the entire island
