Once upon a midnight muggy, while stirring up a dark roux...

Deep in the sweltering Louisiana bayou, a heartbroken narrator seeks peace while mourning his sweet Aurore, who tragically packed up and moved to Houma. But his quiet sorrow is violently shattered by a heavy, wet belly slapping against the screen door.

Enter the Gator.

Massive, smelling of the swamp, and utterly lacking manners, this scaly beast makes himself right at home on the cypress floorboards alongside the Zatarain's boxes. As the frantic narrator begs for answers about his lost love, his fading sanity, and whether there is any relief in the bayou, the uninvited reptile offers only one chilling, perpetually hungry response:

Chomp some more.

Adapting the rhythmic meter of Edgar Allan Poe's legendary poem The Raven, James L Scott delivers a hilarious, bayou-drenched tribute packed with Southern gothic humor. Grab a cold drink, pull up a rocking chair, and enjoy the funniest swamp lore ever penned.
