Shealynn - Winter in NOLA

There is no snow in sight

White Christmases are rarely found here;

And although it gets cold at night

New Orleans is full of good, holiday cheer.

The streetcars everyone holds dear

Are covered with garland and giant red bows

One may find it queer for someone to want to keep them up all year

But in this strange city, anything goes.

All the children here are waiting for that beautiful snow

Though adults understand there’s no guarantee

Nevertheless who knows,

Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see.

Shealynn, age 16
