Ashley - NOLA Greetings

Not every hello is a smile and a wave,
Not every hello is a cheerful praise.
Sometimes it’s a wink or a blink or a “Yo!”
Sometimes it’s a nod or even a bow.
It can be a grumble or mumble or sigh.
It can be a peace sign or even a whine.
Whatever the case, our greetings are true
Since they are based solely on our mood.
Hate it or love it that is the way
That people in New Orleans greet each day.

Ashley, age 16
