renaissance
though every day is a birthday
annual anniversaire reminder pause gives way
to take stock what granted last year birthed
and reflect how present actions impact future mirth
ribouldingue 
revelry started on the eve
bone marrow of life to suck and receive
then spotted after delectable lunch
a little poster declaring piano concert gave hunch to munch
despite sudden chill in the air
made decision to enjoy renaissance raison flair
to lose oneself in chopin and liszt in oldest st-julien-le-pauvre eglise
steinway keys mastered by herbert du plessis
the song continues with diner tonight
beignet foie gras-lobster-crab ravioli was my flight
la petite cour, a gastronomique delight
tomorrow we walk off calories in bois de vincennes to stay light
c’est renaissance puissance, i won’t fight…
