NO PARIS FOR ME

From what 

I've heard

The City of Lights

will change 

your life.

Where else can you 

climb the Eiffel Tower

or linger 

lacksadaisically

at the Louvre.

Where else 

you gonna see 

the Mona Lisa, 

Cleveland?

But I'm too much 

of a hermit, 

too much of an 

old man

too stuck 

in his ways

to travel, 

too scared

of change to 

make so much

as a reservation. 

So I will never

see Paris

in my lifetime

because no plane 

is fast enough

or coy enough to

tease me

from my home.
