Olustee


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.
