New Orleans
* A contemplation on environmental degredation.
New Orleans is living the blues
As water soaks into their shoes
Will FEMA refuse
To fund his beer cruise
Or choose to use subterfuge?
jazz cannibals
reign over new orleans
good weather or bad
smooth blues trios play
for those who savor flavor
and eat musics meat
stan sand
Mardi Gras bubbles with fanfare.
Glitzy wild and crazy with its effervescence.
Party city like no other.

New Orleans mellow jazz nightly
So relaxing, so easy on your psyche
To dreamland
Never-never land
The sultry sounds of the south so spicy
Mardi Gras of twenty nineteen
Was the best parade I have ever seen
If anyone can top it, it will be New Orleans
Where I hope someday to become the Mardi Gras Queen
So here's to Happy Tubby Tuesday,
The big New Orleans jazz & blues day,
With the drunken revelers en masse...
On second thought, let's give it a pass.

A spendthrift lady in New Orleans
clothed her wolfhound beyond her means
But he despised his top hats
and old-fashioned spats
Now he sports tie-died T-shirts and jeans
Don't stop me now, I'm on a roll
Rhymes are surging like a river flows
The mighty Mississippi
To New Orleans city
Are you ready, people? Thar she blows!
The versatile jazzy rhythm went boom boom bah bing
We were dancing happily with a zany
Zingily zing
In the French quarter of New Orleans
Pretending we were voodoo queens
Balconies
are decorated
with daisies.
The perfumed
geraniums
hang like plants.
Beautiful
are the gardens
above ground.
They are seen
in New Orleans,
not elsewhere.

O, What A Wonderful World
He traveled down from Arkansas,
To New Orleans, for Mardi Gras.
"One evening of abandonment,"
That's what his trusted friends say,
"He frolicked on Fat Tuesday night,
And repented on Ash Wednesday."

There was a young woman from New Orleans
who always wore the tightest fitting jeans,
but while she walked with small strides
she could not get many rides...
she had a problem from eating baked beans!
Crocodile picked up the fiddle and began to play
Rabbit and raccoon began dancing a jig right away
Other animals came up to the bayou to have a sing
By the time night fell, New Orleans jazz music was in full swing.
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
To see the ironworks filled with flowers supreme
To gaze the Mississippi on calm felled days
Then wonder how youth suddenly slipped away
Do you Know what it means to miss New Orleans?
Said a handsome New Orleans waiter,
"Sir, can I recommend some freshly caught gator?"
I said, "Are you for real?
Didn’t you hear about that poor woman Lucille?"
"But Sir, what if I can assure you ~ this ain't the gator that ate her?"

New Orleans Saints Win The Superbowl!!
The Saints struck down the Colts
Like a great big lightning bolt
Miami drowned in black and gold
New Orleans won the Superbowl
I send this dedication, a celebration
To all the Who Dat Nation
The New Orleans Saints known as ain'ts,
Were the City's pride causing faints,
The devil stepped in,
Then hell froze again,
And it ain't the faints causing Saints!

On his trumpet
Willie happily plays jazz every day
his canvases dance and applaud
he adores the French quarter
who would go to New Orleans his kin had taunted him.
Willie was grateful.....
his parents' disappointment had chased him to his best life
New Orleans’ 1962 ostentatious hotel lobby
extravagant crystal fluted chandeliers
highly polished walnut counter tops
opulent Italian marble floors
plush scarlet velvet cushioned couches
swankly brass and glass décor
luxury never seen after nineteen sixty-two
New Orleans
Great fanfare
Parades and festivities
Flamboyance
Glamorous exuberance
Vivid colors
Feathers and costumes
Strings of beads
Strewn everywhere
Loud blaring music
Frenzied partying
Right on through to
Shrove Tuesday
AP: Honorable Mention 2020
A little too early in the day
to listen to
this New Orleans "fonk"
I must wake up -
and after all isn't
he dubbed "The Night Tripper"?
he rocks on
through the years
Poor New Orleans
it fell prey
to nature's wiles
It must have been "the right place - wrong time"!
