Jade - NOLA Greetings

On any Saturday at Plum St
A line of people can be awaiting my arrival
As I walk up to the stand
People always give me a warm smile
The smiles always make my day
In some places this is considered foreign
"How are you doing today"
"What's been going on"
The workers always remember me
And nicely approach  me
As I get my snowball
And start to leave
Ms. Linda says
" Have a nice day baby, come back"

Jade, age 16
