PARIS IN THE OFF-SEASON
I
The Prices
I ask for another stiff boisson
when a seafood repast que nous choissisons
almost breaks my whole bank-ly,
deux mille francs! I say, “francly,
one man’s fish is another man’s poisson”.
II
The Weather
In Paris it’s really quite rainya
than the proverbial plainya in Spainya.
But it couldn’t be better!
After all we’d be wetter,
if we’d traveled the ship Lusitania.
III
Ensemble
So though Paris is lovely and fair,
for more francs and soleil do I care.
And though it may embarrass,
here’s my Judgment of Paris:
Although it’s not sunny, it’s cher.
