Caroline - There's a Feeling in the Air...


It is fall in New Orleans
And there is a feeling in the air
A strange, indecisive feeling
One day hot and humid,
One day cold and windy

But it is November
Shouldn’t it be cold?

Not here, not here.
That is how the weather is,
And how it will always be.
Deal with it. No complaining allowed.

Caroline, age 16
