i started thinking that maybe i should write a sequel to last year's "twelve days of post-katrina xmas," my silly little ditty that took on a life of its own and gave me 15 minutes of fame on xmas eve. yesterday morning i was finally inspired.
It’s a year after Katrina, and I would love to see
My street without a pile of storm debris.
One year after Katrina, and I’d be psyched to see
Honest politicians
And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and I still hope to see
Streetcars on St. Charles
Honest politicians
And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and maybe soon we’ll see
No more broken stoplights
Streetcars on St. Charles
Honest politicians
And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and still we long to see
CATEGORY FIVE LEVEES!
No more broken stoplights
Streetcars on St. Charles
Honest politicians
And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and perhaps one day we’ll see
Theatre at the Saenger
CATEGORY FIVE LEVEES!
No more broken stoplights
Streetcars on St. Charles
Honest politicians
And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and someday we might see
No more FEMA trailers
Theatre at the Saenger
CATEGORY FIVE LEVEES!
No more broken stoplights
Streetcars on St. Charles
Honest politicians
And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and I’m still waiting to see

CATEGORY FIVE LEVEES!
No more broken stoplights
Streetcars on St. Charles

Theatre at the Saenger
CATEGORY FIVE LEVEES!
No more broken stoplights
Streetcars on St. Charles

CATEGORY FIVE LEVEES!
No more broken stoplights

No more broken stoplights

And my street without a pile of storm debris.
A year after Katrina, and fingers crossed we’ll see
Coté Sud reopen

The Corps being held accountable

No more FEMA trailers
Theatre at the Saenger

Duuuude. Cote Sud never reopened? That makes me want to cry! I used to eat there every week when I lived on Pine Street.
nope, no cote sud, and no word on whether they might ever reopen... please come back, sophie & ollivier! what i wouldn't do for some moules marinieres au roquefort. :(
