The 12 Days of New Orleans Christmas

I don't know who wrote this, but I know it wasn't me. A little Christmas cheer from those rebuilding in New Orleans:

(Sing along, it's fun!)

The power turned back on by Entergy.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
Two rubber gloves

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
Three flood adjusters
Two rubber gloves
And the power turned back on by Entergy.

Four jugs of bleach

Two rubber gloves
And the power turned back on by Entergy.
