We voted for a day
walking round the Left Bank,
the old narrow streets, boulevards,
shop windows, cafes.
Now we're sitting in the sun,
Luxemburg Gardens,
with half the population of Paris.

I really could do with a proper,
lay‐down, nap but going back
to the hotel room would be sad
and you've got to make
some effort, when on holiday,
else it's hardly worth the travel.
