Maeve - NOLA Myths

I. AM. A. BEAST.

I eat three dozen beignets

EVERY day.

I eat a hot sausage po-boy for lunch

and drown it with a cup of café au lait,

then scarf down two dozen oysters

to feed my ferocious appetite.

Wait,

no that’s a lie.

I had a yogurt and some goldfish.

Though I may not have eaten a beignet in three months,

I am still from NOLA.

Maeve, age 17
