Pur Frivolité

"La Gastronomie de Paris"
Affectionately authored by Rattus Scribus
Performed with peerless pulse-pounding passionate pageantry by Tea Rat

---
Shall I compare thee to Marron glacé?
Thou art more gooey and affectionate.


Rough winds do shake the cafe's cheese-fill'd tray,
But naught can shake my love for thee to date.


Thou didst gift me my first crêpe brimmed with nutella,
And with enraptured tongue sang acappella.


Off cobbled streets I met Turkish delight,
Which in America one must chew for a fortnight.


Accras de Poisson, mayhap doth take the crown,
Cod fish fritters? I know how that mayest sound.


But if on barren island I was forever doom'd to be,
A heaven this: Anita, cod fish fritters, and me.

La gastronomie. Like nowhere else, la gastronomie
de Paris.
