He took the train from Gulfport
Carol by his side
He was hoping for a facial
After a long and scenic ride.
Café Du Monde was open
His powdered Beignet through
He saw a feathered lady
A Birthday dollar clue.
We made it to Antoines
Too early for our lunch
Free soap across the street
He had a facial hunch.
The tarot reading lady
Told Danny his luck would change
He gave her twenty dollars
She didn’t give him change
His French Quarter Tour was over
He desired a Streetcar Next
St Charles to Cooter Brown’s
Shrimp Po-Boys were the best
Danny took the Levee
Although his feet were sore
A Mississippi River view
But he felt he needed more.
We had to catch the train back home
Danny said “I’m staying here”
He never got a facial
But his tarot cards were clear
His luck would surely change
He said “I feel my luck is close”
He made some friends on Bourbon
Street
But left the “Quarter”with a lethal
dose!
