A DARK PLEA

Marie LaveauMarie… Marie…
there is trouble
brewing in the wind
at New Orleans again
Awaken from your lengthy dream
and assist me in my scheme
Hurricane Katrina…
that terror from the sea
who seeks to spoil
your resting place…
will not leave us be
Does she not know
New Orleans…
is home of Marie Laveau…
most famous Voodoo witch
of the haunted south… so
arise Marie… from your tomb
Hurry… Katrina soon brings doom
Work your magic…
Cast a spell by mouth
before Katrina
wreaks havoc in the south
and quickly… quickly… Marie…
Give me a gris-gris to cast
her back into the sea…
