Carmen's Chronicles: Class of 9-10-65

Friday, October 15, 2010

I could see the Mississippi,

From my vantage window seat,

And pictured years so long ago,

When I'd partied on Bourbon Street.

I was just about eighteen,

And filled with such delight,

Nursing school in New Orleans,

Was more than just all right!!

Tonight, our class reconvenes,

And remembers why we love New Orleans!

I am participating in Mr. G-Man's Flash 55.

My generous sons have given me,

A trip down memory lane,

Thursday, I'm New Orleans bound,

Can't wait to board that plane.

Katrina spoiled our 40th,

So we've catching up to do,

My Charity class at nursing school,

Hopes no new storm will brew.

I hope to find some oysters that haven't eaten any oil!
