Anonymous - Who Dat

WHO DAT, 
two words 
mean so much more 
than any non-neworleanian could know. 

ONE TEAM, 
who fought for something, 
something that changed the mood
of a devastated city,
and united a now unstoppable community.  

WHO DAT,
two words,
forever engraved in our hearts,
forever a part of our lives, 
forever a phenomenon.
