PAD Challenge Day 27: A Taste of New Orleans

PAD Challenge Day 27: Write a "New blank" poem.

A Taste of New Orleans

Take me back 
Ya heard me? 
To the Big Easy
the Bayou of
St.John watahs.

Take me back
'Cause no matter 
Wuzham or
where y'at?
I was woadie and babi.
Ya know?

Take me back 
where Who Dat, Who Dat?  
We dat, We dat!
is chanted from the 
French Quarter 
to the Superdome.

Take be back 
with a NOLIA clap.
Give me that 
Bounce- let me 
Back That Thang up
in the second line.

Take me back
on a Fat Tuesday.
I want Etouffée thighs
and Gumbo to snug
my Jambalaya soul.

Take me back.
So I can French kiss 
a real Po'boy, 
suck on Crawfish
let a hurricane 
smooth talk me 
down Bourbon Street.

Take me back 
'cause NOLA 
was the sweetest 
beignet to this 
Carolina girl.
And only NOLA can
do you like dat dere.

Take me back...
laissez les bon 
temps rouler!
