Smiley,
You might be a 'Yat and not an Ignatius dingbat if ya roll up your sleeves for yer poboys,
Cause Deanie's, Mother's, Parosol's, Schweggmann's, Short Stop and many other joints give us true natives these "delightful culinary toys,"
No matter what ya do,
Or how your Catholic Mother taught ya how to make a Roux,
Like Frank Davis, you're a "Naturally N'Awlins 'Yat" if you love foreigners like Smiley, his writers (all of us) and all the great wit he employs!
P.S. I'm gonna get Mayor Mitch Landrieu to give Smiley a "Key to the City" (Free poboys anytime/anywhere!), since he is such an ADVOCATE for my roots (even if they are below sea level!)
'Coruscated Confabulations' is a collection of stories and experiences, most of which took place in prior decades. They are taken from or based upon real events, with a certain admixture of fictional embellishments.
3 WAY MIRROR is about a lost identity as experienced by a twenty-eight-year old who thinks he's Charles Randall, until strange events suggest otherwise.
In this eccentric tale set in a small town in northern India, Pawan Mishra masterfully weaves ingenuity and sarcasm in a manner that’s simultaneously hilarious and tragic.
