A Trip to ParisA Poem by Elton CampThere are too many foreigners.A Trip to Paris
By Elton Camp On the shuttle bus from de Gaulle airport Is the first thing candor requires to report Body odor was no doubt that horrible smell In the city we could often detect urine as well Seeing the French with their dogs was a delight But their manure littering the sidewalks is a sight But when nature calls for the humans it’s a mess They clean their toilets once in a while, I guess Another strange thing about toilets that I must say If you want to use them, then be prepared to pay And the car drivers are just as reckless as can be Besides that, many obnoxious scooters you see Scooters often go the wrong way down the street And even on sidewalks you are likely them to meet But the main thing that really makes me quite mad Some don’t speak English and others only very bad
