Lost in France in Love

AnElephantCant deny he’s a Francophile
He loves everything about France
He gives up his home
To go for a roam
In search of what may very well be his last chance

What he seeks is still somewhat nebulous
Not just an escape from dire Scottish weather
He believes that chaque jour
Est toujours l’aventure*
And he wants to feel that way forever

As he drives south without an agenda
There is one thing he notes with affection
What amuses him most
Generally speaking sign posts
Are more a concept than a direction

AnElephant’s Hotel, Clock Tower or Vieux Belfroi, Buildings in the Main Square, Hotel de Ville

His first stop is not far from Calais
In the quaintly beautiful town of Bethune
The tower in the square
Is spectaculaire
As it plays its wonderfully discordant tune

He moves on to Chalons-en-Champagne
A great place to forget all your troubles
Its architecture is neat
Compensates cold and heat
And its famous produce is full of wee bubbles

So by now AnElephant is relaxeder
He soon starts to forget all his sorrow
But if you want to know
Where else he finds beau
Please come back the day after tomorrow

*Every day is an adventure
