Jeff Connelly Poet Limerick

In the Marais

"in the Marais"


there once was a man from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
who preferred Picasso's over those of Van Gogh
so he didn't give a damn
about Amsterdam
but would rather be in Paris sipping Bordeaux

Though I'm not from the Welsh town in this limerick, I have been to Paris a few times; love Picasso, and Bordeaux wine lol. Yes, I've heard the Marais is rather posh now, but wow what it must have been in those days :)
