President Trump has already told us --- THE CARNIVAL IS OVER

here is the traditional End of Karneval song:

On Ash Wednesday it's all over....

..."Vespers opens with the singing or chanting of the words Deus,
in adiutorium meum intende. Domine, ad adiuvandum me festina.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in
principio, et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Alleluia.

(O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
Amen. Alleluia.) ("Alleluia" is omitted during Lent.)"...

Psalm 69:2 King James Version (KJV)

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

these are some of the opening words of the Vespers service....

haunting song....

this as well, the late singer Alexandra's Maskenball, or Masquerade.
The 3 wild days of revelry before the beginning of Lent - Karneval - is one big masquerade ball the size of a city....

I expect President Trump will be calming in his words,
so as not to spook the herd.

However, he is giving us the "word" through his timing.

He that hath eyes to see...

I am.

Very nice connect.

PEOPLE are catching on

and a match to light the seen with!


ring around the rosy

pocket full of posies

ashes ashes we all fall down!


this is about a plague

good catch

The end of Festivities, Carnival.

Now comes time of deprivation, lean times.

No Carne...

The herd will spook soon, I suspect.

Wonder what the trigger will be?
They won't get his clue of timing.


When it happens, dey gonna panic, I betcha.

they always called him carnaval barker

You really have a hard-on for doom.

conflicting theories about the meaning of this rhyme


here goes wiki:

In 1898, A Dictionary of British Folklore contained the belief that an explanation of the game was of pagan origin, based on the Sheffield Glossary comparison of Jacob Grimm's Deutsche Mythologie. The theory states that it is in reference to Pagan myths and cited a passage which states, "Gifted children of fortune have the power to laugh roses, as Freyja wept gold." It claimed the first instance to be indicative of pagan beings of light. Another suggestion is more literal, that it was making a "ring" around the roses and bowing with the "all fall down" as a curtsy.[21] In 1892, the American writer, Eugene Field wrote a poem titled Teeny-Weeny that specifically referred to fey folk playing ring-a-rosie.[22]

According to Games and Songs of American Children, published in 1883, the "rosie" was a reference to the French word for rose tree and the children would dance and stoop to the person in the center.[2] Variations, especially more literal ones, were identified and noted with the literal falling down that would sever the connections to the game-rhyme. Again in 1898, sneezing was then noted to be indicative of many superstitious and supernatural beliefs across differing cultures.[21]

The Great Plague explanation of the mid-20th century[edit]

Since after the Second World War, the rhyme has often been associated with the Great Plague which happened in England in 1665, or with earlier outbreaks of the Black Death in England. Interpreters of the rhyme before World War II make no mention of this; by 1951, however, it seems to have become well established as an explanation for the form of the rhyme that had become standard in the United Kingdom. Peter and Iona Opie, the leading authorities on nursery rhymes, remarked:


The invariable sneezing and falling down in modern English versions have given would-be origin finders the opportunity to say that the rhyme dates back to the Great Plague. A rosy rash, they allege, was a symptom of the plague, and posies of herbs were carried as protection and to ward off the smell of the disease. Sneezing or coughing was a final fatal symptom, and "all fall down" was exactly what happened.

The line Ashes, Ashes in colonial versions of the rhyme is claimed to refer variously to cremation of the bodies, the burning of victims' houses, or blackening of their skin, and the theory has been adapted to be applied to other versions of the rhyme. In its various forms, the interpretation has entered into popular culture and has been used elsewhere to make oblique reference to the plague.
