Emily - NOLA Greetings

Welcome to New Orleans

There is a simple Southern thing we call hospitality.
          Welcomings,
                     Generous treatments,
                                   Amiabilities.
Friendly greetings all around.
                     “Hey yall!”
We care, love, help
                                 strangers and friends.
          We might come off a little strange and peculiar,
but deep down,
         It’s just us being New Orleanians.

Emily, age 15
