Mummers usually march a long way,

Usually as well on New Years Day,

But this is summer, at the shore they do play,

Enjoy to watch them either way…

They have fancy brigades,

As well as the comic,

Some even on roller blades,

Passing the judges they all get grades…

The best do win, though all are best,

Obviously it is a great big contest,

But to see them on the boardwalk,

In their New Years day dress,

Is more fun for me, because its warm outside,

Unlike in January, when one has to of the cold abide…
