a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan
Ah Paris ’tis the city of love
a beautiful place indeed.
Enjoy yourself and if you like
have a pastry for me.
A croissant, pasty or a tart
with cream, and fruit, and crust.
Such a delight with every bite
is sinful, and a must.
Have an espresso at a street cafe
and watch the passersby
In thought, or talk, or steadfast walk
so busy with their lives.
Enjoy a walk along the Seine
or boat ride to the Louvre.
With easy access everywhere
you can also ride the Tube.
Enjoy your trip to Paris
have a glass of wine for me.
And over here I’ll taste it
on my lips, just wait and see.
I taste a red, hardy and full
it’s peppery and smooth.
Oh no it’s white, a crisp delight
it’s flowery… oh no it’s bright.
Did you have two, or maybe three
I’m so confused it must be me.
I taste a tart, and coffee too
my senses don’t know what to do.
Enjoy your trip to Paris
and I’ll be here with you
Or is it there, I just don’t know
with you I’m split in two.
I don’t know what I’m doing
and I don’t know what I see
All I know that I like you
and you’ll have the best from me.
Enjoy your trip to Paris friend
best wishes, bon voyage
I don’t know how to end this
so I’ll just press the pause…
