Saint Paul de Vence


My sister is a trapeze artist

She is only one of two trapeze artists

To have been born

In Saint Paul de Vence

My sister is very beautiful

The other trapeze artist

From Saint Paul de Vence

Was also very beautiful

They fell in love with each other

But are not married as both are nuns

My sister is named Sister Eileen

I am not a trapeze artist

As I was born with stunted legs

But I am happily married to the second hand

Of the towns ancient clock which does not

have a first hand as it was stolen during the war

My sisters lover is also named Sister Eileen

Although her birth name was Just Eileen

Saint Paul de Vence in recent history has produced

two trapeze artists but it has never produced a jar

of sea scatted glass for use in large decorated windows

This fact always makes me very doom sad
