Courtney - Down in New Orleans...

Down in New Orleans
chilly weather, good spirits
great food, shiny beads
colorful floats, shouting people
all describe the time of the year
that all New Orleanians
anticipate daily
until it actually comes
fat tuesday, mardi gras
whatever one calls it
the meaning is the same
a week of pure joy and
fun for every person
in the city

Courtney, age 17
