Bonaparte (just the poem)

Bonaparte

 

Now we inhabit Paris France

(Parisian girls unfurled)

French coffee with tax 211

(Best brothels in the world)

 

Yo, we hate the wimps Pierre

Baguettes no American rolls

Why should I look at a Henry Matisse?

Still Paris’ mornings for our souls

 

Google failed actor Eugene Atget

Old man of Parisian sight

La Madeleine in America’s mall

And France, the French, their light
