Oil Spill: A Cajun Montage
Posted: Jun 4, 2010 10:29 AM by Letitia Walker
Sugar seasons the black land
Salt furnishes the island mine
Tabasco feeds its jungle garden
Fate marks the timely find
Spain adds its foreign name
French mixes the rambunctious flavors
A bayou named Teche
Anchors Evangeline’s live cover
Oil lubricates the viscous underground
Swamps disperse the sinking towns
Gators and rats chase the boy
The man turns the favor around
Oysters and shrimp enhance a nation
Red fish blackens its stomach’s soul
Flat boats fly on borrowed air
An ancient culture defines its role
And as hurricanes and oil spills
Simmer in one boiling pot
The Cajun Cookbook is rewritten:
Just a few added recipes
To strengthen a people.
