We've got jazz on every corner, Bourbon's just around the block If you need a quiet place, I can take you to The Locks You're probably here for the Quarter, Maybe Mardi Gras too Come around next year, And you can join the Krewe! Come for the beignets Stay for a "Jambalaya, and a crawfish pie and a file gumbo!" Enjoy the game, while you stuff your face Cheerin' Geaux Tigers Geaux! To get the full experience, Embrace the magic our city offers you Get your palm read, grab a mojo bag From Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo When Sunday comes, We'll gather 'round the Dome, We'll be singing Who Dat 'Till The Saints come marching home! If you ever find yourself Within our city limits I sincerely hope That you enjoy your visit!

I enjoyed your poem about one of my favorite cities. I consider New Orleans like a second home; my dad grew up there and we used to visit every summer. I always root for the Tiger except when we are playing them, I'm an Aggie. Welcome to Poetry Soup Lillie. John
