Paris Almost

It was a contest I entered some years ago Take the tour with me as I narrate the flow It was a contest presented by the New York Daily News This was a contest that I just couldn’t refuse You had to name a city in a picture The answer was St. Louis, Missouri Image winning first place I was ready to travel to the Paris space The Daily News called and asked for Mr. Blake My Grandfather answered the phone, and thought they were calling him Well as it turned out, it was me the New York Daily News was calling about However when my Grandfather said he wasn’t well and I wasn’t around in tell I told my Grandfather, “You made me miss my Paris in advance” Now I have loss my chance It would have been all expenses paid Just me and Paris in the shade This was something Heaven truly made No a la Carte, a la mode and certainly n o Allons-y! Paris I wasn’t bound Another time that will come around To Paris, I must say Au Revoir.
