New Orleans, Definitely, On the 15th

Canadian Goose flew down

Great grasping the blanket down

Awesome she went down

 

On the 15th, vivid memories

Temples and Churches

Brought you to the cemetery

 

Visited your next plot

I saw your back door

Pulled out and broke

 

Under the tree

New Orleans Bible

Found you yesterday

 

Five Foot Over

Showing your feet to me

An angel landing

 

I looked up

All I could see

Was you in the sky

 

Definitely

Stay one more night

Catch the early flight

 

On the 15th, I’ll be back

No more time

For the dance and rhyme

 

Dance of the dead

New Orleans Head

Come to me, better off dead.
