Geoffrey Brewer Poet Limerick

The Eiffel Tower

THE EIFFEL TOWER

In the city of light their aspire
Was to build to a climax higher
Gustave Eiffel you see
Said just leave it to me
I can satisfy all your desire

Monsieur Eiffel seen with affection
By Dames de Paris for perfection
Of his manner de Gaul
Mais plus ca most of all
For his grand magnifique **ection

Kim Rodrigues April 21, 2020 at 7:34 AM I don’t often understand what is blanked out by the Soup. I feel your pain. I’ve been to the Eiffel tower, so pretty at night and also ate in its restaurant. A pretty poem! Geoffrey Brewer April 21, 2020 at 8:11 AM Thanks, Kim. Yes, a wonderful City.
