Paris Sonnet

Paris Sonnet I visited Paris a few days ago went into a café And ordered a cream cake, the slice was huge And had a yellow liquid on top, I was assured It was sweaty sugar. Tiny footsteps No, it was decoration Made by an artistic baker and a fork I have diabetes should not eat sugary things Put a serviette over the cake, drank my coffee and left. The river Seine was still high I just this morning read that Paris has a plaque of rats Discerning taste prefers cake shops and why not Who wants to live in that dirty river blind lovers Think are romantic.
