Corner of the Bayou in New Orleans

Old timers say there’s a corner of the bayou in New Orleans Where booby footed pelicans and pink lovebirds are seen in a totem made along with turtle who has a needle nose and wildly colored chameleon who is wearing clothes At the bottom of this spirited display is a large crock Pretending to be a piece of driftwood or a purple rock But if you see a large red eye open, you’d best be on your way For this giant crocodile is fierce, and he does not play.
