Anonymous - NOLA Myths

have you eveR been at home alone
and heard a wolf’s howl loud enough to make yOu jump?
have you ever disobeyed yoUr parents wish
and been scared to death for who miGht come?
have you ever made an easy lenten promise
in feAr of coming up too short?
if any one of these is tRue,
then you must know the story of
ole’ rougarou.
the werewolf whO comes out at night looking for you,
hoping he might get a taste of that precious blood.
you better rUn fast as light or rougarou will get you!
