Trip 10

 May 10, 2023

 

Party poopers in Paris.

We had worn ourselves out

sloshing around in the rain

at Monet’s beautiful gardens

and Louis the 14^th’s

extravagance of Versailles.

 

If I had a choice to live amongst

the gold décor and huge oil paintings

or the colorful flower gardens of Monet,

I’d choose the latter.

 

We rested, venturing out only once

to buy baguettes and eclairs.

Sis stuck her baguet in my tote bag.

Awkward! Walking down the street

with that sticking out a foot.

Fortunately, I wasn’t attacked

by a flock of pigeons.

 

The lights went out at the grocery store.

We found our way to the check out.

Came out the other side, a little disoriented,

but we found our way home.
