Verses from a Trip to France

Standing on the street
Where the Amexit deal
Got signed in 1783. 
Feels a bit unreal.


Among medieval thinkers, Aquinas 
Was surely one of the finest. 
A post-dark-ages trailblazer,
His arguments rocked ‘em and socked ‘em. 
Later came William of Ockham,
Who left us his never-fail razor.


Lady sitting behind me
Coughing on the plane,
If that’s something contagious,
Kindly refrain. 


Always good to be home again
After a trip to points far-flung. 
Everything feels simpler when
You know the local tongue.
