Christmas In Paris

It's Sunday morning

and Dad takes me out

for breakfast.

I get pancakes with strawberries

and whipped cream.

Dad orders pigs in a blanket.

We both have coffee

with sugar.

Lots and lots of sugar.

Dad talks about Paris

and how he'd love to take me

and Mom there someday.

He says I'd love the Eiffel Tower,

the Arc de Triomphe,

the Louvre,

the cafés,

the shopping.

"Let's go at Christmastime," He says.

I think of my three best friends.

They would love to go to Paris.


Why not me?

Maybe it's because

Paris is a really

far away

and we would have to

stay away from home

for a really long time.
