All Along the Banquette
Here be vagabonds
Tatters and rags
Or recherché finery
Gypsy fires, and a broken levee
Prodigal children, supposing benighted fates
Prodigious harmonious fabrefactions
Apperception in sight and intonation
~
Vieux Carre!
Splendid dream of saint and sinner
An old world charm;
And rum for dinner
~
City clamor
The creole soul
Hollowed by hundreds of years
The sun shall set
