Brooke - NOLA Myths

No. You cannot take a taxi here.
Bareback on alligator or perot
But the former only if the location is near
Nawlins tourists, here we go.

Don’t expect to find chicken or to wash
Swallow when you can getcha some gator or bull frog
Served up with a side of grammatical goulash
Does it look funny? It’s not like we would eat a dog.

You really shouldn’t drink the water
Cause Lord knows, how much it is mudded
Can’t come to the Fait Dos Dos, daughter
Ya’ll know I can’t leave because my house is still flooded.

For the record we don’t bury the dead
We’ll keep you in a little white house indefinitely
Why, how could a person rest in peace rotting in lead?
Fear not, your bones can be used for voodoo sorcery.

Brooke, age 17
