Are you related to the Bengal Bard? I gave him a ride home from a bar one time. His yard was full of signs with poems on them.
He was old. Tall and thin. Grey. They would put his game poem in the Advocate every week during the season. They were all very corny. He used to hang around Magoo's on Chimes St then at Phil Brady's bar.
Not me or my dad (caca’s Brother) who was the Metairie Poet ... When Greg Dubroc went to LSU, the Metairie Poet penned one that made the Times Picayune Peter Finney and so annoyed the Tulane President that he went crying to LSU President to make my pop stop it ... He didn’t of course
