Like an intense river
New Orleans waits alone
Thunder cracking;
As blunt as a gun....

Just a couple of months to go
Although it's warm in New Orleans
Could we possibly see Snow?...

To fund his beer cruise
Or choose to use subterfuge?...

So relaxing, so easy on your psyche

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...

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.

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

hang like plants.
Beautiful

They are seen
in New Orleans,
not elsewhere.

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."...

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!...
