Mikaela - NOLA Myths

Entering the world that New Orleans withholds
We established a culture that we can call our own
From the outsiders point of view it is told
We party all night and at noon we go home

This statement isn’t valid?
No work?
What a tragic!
The Big Easy is not measly a party palace

We are so well known for letting the good times roll
People overlook the hard work that we put into our homes
They may overlook the foundation of our happy soul
Which is we rebuilt this city and for that we rejoice!

Mikaela, age 15
