Roses are red
Violets are blue
Things can go wrong
In Europe, too
What has gone wrong
Let me count the ways
To paint a perfect picture
Let’s go back a few days
Our flight was delayed
By a couple of hours
After we’d driven
Through more than some showers
We made it to London
And walked around town
Only to discover
Group B’s on the ground
What has happened
We all had to ask
My nerves were a wreck
And I needed a flask
Tensions were high
And a man grew ill
Newfoundland they landed
Perhaps they’ll get a free meal
Shannon, Ireland?
Where the heck is that?
Meanwhile on the tarmac
They grumbled and sat
“Here we come!”
They all began to shout
No, wait...Just joking
The power’s now out
We saw all the sights
Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame
Our luck has changed
Nothing else can go wrong
But what to my wondering
Eyes should appear
Oh no! Not that!
It was my biggest fear
Just when you thought
Things couldn’t get worse
A pickpocket decided
To take Mary’s purse
To the embassy she went
And was back in a flash
Got her passport restored
But still had no cash
We rode the metro
A boat and the tube
Enjoyed all the meals
Without an ice cube
Just when we thought
Our bad luck was over
Group B should have picked us
A four-leaf clover
Group A is now stuck
In the Charles de Gall
The kids didn’t mind
Cuz inside there’s a mall
So many things
Should have caused mass delirium
So thankful we are
For the presence of our Miriam
We must say goodbye
And wish it weren’t the case
Such memories were made
That time can’t erase.
Our kids have been great
And are so resilient
I must say overall
The trip has been brilliant
