On Bourbon Street Every Day is Mardi Gras

Big Easy

Every day
Is Mardi Gras
Bourbon Street
Starts at noon
Gets more intense
Hustlers and panhandlers
Getting an early start
Rubes in beads
From the burbs
Looking for adventure
Lunch at Acme Oyster
Favorite destination
No lines
Grilled oysters
Gumbo
Side of jambalaya
Moving on
Getting more intense
Didn’t tip ugly queen
For a picture
Hey honey I do this for a living
Out of the madness
To Jackson Square
Riff band blasting
More loud than good
Vamping for tips
Café du Monde
Of Course
Grabbed our seats
Tourists waited
Taking a load off
Moved to the river
Nation splitter
Ending here
Dog tired
Slogging home
Tomorrow is
Another day
Had enough of Bourbon St.
Till next time
