Elizabeth - NOLA Greetings

How’s ya mamma?
This is what people say
When walking down the street
Who cares if they are your best friend
Or a complete stranger
New Orleans is the biggest small town in the world
Here, everyone is a family
Everything about our city is unique
The food
The music
The culture
And the greetings are no exception
So next time when you’re walking down the street
And see a crowd
Make sure you say, in the typical New Orleans way
Hey yall

Elizabeth, age 17
