Delesseps Chep Morrison

Old Mayor Morrison was so hep And was filled with so much pep He knew where the cars should run That was DeLesseps Morrison He swept the city clean Do you know what I mean? Building playgrounds and parks NORD athletes making marks But Governor he'd never be Pelican State would never see So he became a loyal diplomat And we all knew that was that Since he always wanted to go higher One day he hitched a ride with a flyer The little plane then crashed Leaving all his hopes dashed

Excellent.....think he left all our hopes dashed...I still miss him...is it nostalgia in old age? or was he truly as wonderful as we thought? Your call...great poem....thanks for posting

Thanks. No, he wasn't perfect or a saint, but I think he was the last above-average mayor of N.O.
