Torre - NOLA Greetings

Season’s greetings
Only over a hundred degrees
Seeing as the difference between winter to spring
Is only three degrees
Regardless of the season
The Southern Hospitality is all the same
With the warm welcomes and casual “hey y’all” to strangersand loved ones alike
And the recent screeches of FREE SEAN ringing throughoutevery inch of the city
Whatever the greeting is, the attitudes are all the same
That shape our city, our New Orleans community

Torre, age 17
