New Orleans
by Charles E MinshallA long time ago,
I visited New Orleans,
A long time before
It became New Oileans.
I went dancing
On a river boat cruise,
I danced to Jazz men
Playing the blues.
My visit there
Was full of delights,
Though I had to wear
My Navy whites. 09/02/2010 Posted on 09/03/2010
