Super Bowl XLII, the ultimate football spree

The Sack-Attack Kings vs. the Dynamic Dudes of Destiny

The Patriots, seemingly invincible; pure perfection

The Giants, incredible road warriors of distinction

Patriots, the expected favorites, the undefeated

Giants, the underdogs; assumed unlikely to be Super Bowl seated

The Patriots hailed with Tom Brady as the NFL MVP

The Giants stood with Eli Manning, QB with the accuracy, recipe

The Patriots worked hard to call Feb 3rd their day

But, the Giants counteracted any and all, a fancy play

The Patriots were rough, tough and ready

Yet, the Giants held their own; rock, steady

In the end, the Giants emerged champions; 17-14, ooh wee

New Orleans, The Big Easy, Savor The Flavor Visual Poem - Big Bowl

New Orleans, so many memories linger, everywhere

Nothing else, can ever, compare

It may be the city, resting in a bowl

It will live on with all of that, soothing jazz, stronghold

It will live on, with all of that trinity seasoned, authentic, artistic, spicy foods

West African, Cajun and Creole

In The Big Easy, The Crescent City, the people and the music

Will remain the true quintessential, forever, told...

A poem to honor the unique people, jazz and traditions of New Orleans

Excerpt from New Orleans, The Big Easy, Savor The Flavor
