Seine Insane
In gay Paree
Along the River Seine.
There is a man,
I cannot explain.
In full view of Thousands,
With fantastic zest.
He dives from Bridges,
Fully dressed.
In winter, when the River’s,
Icy cold.
He puts on a show
Amazingly Bold.
He pirouettes along the parapets
Escapes the Gendarmes.
Swallow dives into the river.
In to his Mother’s arms.
Every time I see him
I say again and again.
This crazy Frenchman,
I’m sure is in Seine.
