Only have one egg for breakfast
As they find that

A Tourist's Romance

I once met a young lady from France
Who was having a tourist's romance
With a man from Cheyenne
Whose first name was Dianne
The French like leaving gender to chance

Down from a prospect, acclaimed
As that clear eyed
Of a Reisling grape
On the french side
With the local product spilt
Adds, dare I say
What of its sparkle
Gives life to bay.

Down In Dunkirk

The once was a man from Dunkirk.
The war came and he went berserk.
In the French battle field,
Local harlots did yield.
Escape came by fancy footwork.
