Courtney - Who Dat

who dat a phrase known to everyone
from new orleans
has just the right jingle when
everyone screams it at a game
or even in someones living room
alone by yourself
it all sounds the same
the anticipation oozes out of it
with every time it comes out
of our mouths
the spirit and excitement behind this phrase
is normal to locals
but to everyone else it
is something that cannot be understood

Courtney, age 16
