In Aix les bains the Moon began to ebb
weekend dry skiing gone awry,
Country and Western jukebox
by the verdant bar.
"Elle ne comprend pas",
come to me with willing woes!,
a broken heart
a tryst gone wrong?
maybe just an old fashioned
broken toe,
though no St Bernard's rescue
the Cognacs even unfaithful,
perhaps a tetanus jab
and the ferry back home.
