On the Champs-Elysees

by Joe Cramer

She had such long legs

Way up to there

And a fire

In her hair.

I wanted to speak

So coyly in Francais,

But could not ask

Even her name.

The moment passed.

Author's Note: .... in the summer of 1979 I was strolling down the Champs-Elysees one fine morning... I recently re-told this story to a friend from here..... the ending has an interesting twist....
