Bayou Charlie's Tales - Andrews C. M.

Bayou Charlie is quite a character. He travels all over the state from Bossier City to Slidell to Lake Charles to Baton Rouge. No one ever knows when and where he will show up. He just does. He will listen to your stories and maybe tell you one of his.

Bayou Charlie draws a crowd wherever he goes. People run to see him. Bayou Charlie will listen to any story from anyone who will tell it. The young and the old, the old man or woman that everyone thinks is crazy he will listen to what he/she has to say. You never know when a delightful story will be told, or what the source it came from. "Always listen to your elders." His grandma told him, and that is what he does. Bayou Charlie is all for having fun, if none is going on he just may go up and tell a few jokes. Bayou Charlie loves to make people laugh. Even if he has to sing a song off key. That's bayou Charlie, anything for a laugh. And the people love him. If he goes to the casino people will start winning, just because he is there.

Bayou Charlie may appear at a night club and ask a girl for a dance and maybe even steal a kiss. (All in fun) Bayou Charlie would never hurt anyone.

He usually wears bib overalls open toed shoes and a funny hat. Consider yourself Lucky if you ever run into him. You will not be disappointed.

He may be at a bayou near you smiling and walking away.
