Paris Blemished

The last time I saw Paris [Francine ]

I hid my face and wept. [tonedeaf]

For the Eiffel Tower had fallen [Nym]

And the museums were unswept [Francine]

The Moulin Rouge was shuttered [tonedeaf]

The can-can had been banned [Francine]

"What happened here?" I muttered, [tonedeaf]

The tour guide took my hand [Francine]

The explanation was quite simple [Karin]

Indeed, it made me blush [Francine]

Chirac tried to cover up a pimple [Karin]

With a Black & Decker airbrush [Nym]
