In New Orleans

We try to do some local things Whenever we’re away, Although we’re clearly tourists On a short and jam-packed stay. So we signed up for a cooking class And watched a chef prepare Gumbo, jambalaya and pralines, Some Cajun-Creole fare. It all was most delicious And Chef Austin was the best. We left there more than satisfied And happily impressed. Not needing any dinner, We checked out some local jazz, Where Tom Hook, a piano player, Entertained us with pizzazz. It’s wonderful to have a chance To try out something new As a little break before you’re back To what you always do.
