Paris Today, Venice Tomorrow

Paris today, Venice tomorrow
   If I'm out of cash, I'll borrow

The Arc de Triomphe and Louvre
   The Gondola metropolis
I'll sample every famous
   Continental megalopolis

Stroll the Champs-Elysees
   Marvel at glass-blown finery
Smile at the Mona Lisa
   Take a tour of a winery...

And when it all has been discussed
    poured over, digested
Without you there to share it
      'Twas for naught
~ A full refund I've requested
