Sorbonne Feet Poem by John Sensele

Walk gingerly to avoid a trap
Set by a malicious, salacious spirit
As you sprint to win a crown in the last lap.

Under provocation without equivocation, don't snap
At the sight of a provocative twit.
Walk gingerly to avoid a trap.

Global positioning systems eclipse a map
Now outdated and inaugurated in a museum kit
As you sprint to win a crown in the last lap.

Duck a plethora of hurdles; an invisible slap
Neutralise as foes by the dozen beat.
Walk gingerly to avoid a trap.


Elegy, energy and effigy sap
When Nemesis and Charybdis meet
As you sprint to win a crown in the last lap.

Baloney, poppycock alongside crap
Don't condone at the Sorbonne feet.
Walk gingerly to avoid a trap
As you sprint to win a crown in the last lap.
