Mardi Gras
by Joe CramerOnce again, I miss New Orleans
As the Lenten season draws near.
I miss the parades, the charades, the crowds
Maybe even a city so queer
In its impression upon the world
That some idiot said "bulldoze it"
In the aftermath of Katrina.
New Orleans still holds my heart
The place of my birth.
So much joie de vive, frivolity
So much laughter and mirth.
March on parades, krewes and balls
Stay away if je ne sais quoi is not for you
