In the end they finally came to me
Please please make Olustee lovely
Please No Southern flag to offend
Here is the way we want history written
No guns please they are offensive
Lovely ladies fine looking pensive
Make the colors pastel and dreamy
Better yet a soft glow foggy
It will better fit our inclusive theme
After all, everyone knows who won.
In the old days of Olustee Festival, I did the cover of the program and even the city logo complete with a southern flag. In subsequent years, with Dufy and others taking over the covers, the theme became more and more watered down. This was written as a outcry to practically denying there was even a battle over in Olustee, not pretty.
