791 - Paris on the cheap

I’m off to Paris with just one small bag
To see my daughter in her little flat
Sur la rue de Rivoli - oh, c’est mag-
nifique! John Lennon Airport, Easyjet
To Charles de Gaulle Airport, from where I’ll get
The RER Line B to Châtelet
My daughter will hopefully be all set
To meet me at the Métro entranceway
And then we’ll walk the lit-up streets as they
Lead us through French fantasy-land, agog
An evening café au lait, café nat-
ure (c’est café noir), ma fille? Ah, au lait?
D’accord. As-tu dix euros? The not large
Fund I brought is spent! Sorry about that!
