Rue Neuve - in the Sun!

The sun peeps out, we are astounded!

As “rain stops play” had seemed unbounded

Now street-side cafés fill up fast

 And Rue Neuve comes alive – at last!

 

Success has been a long time coming

Now waiters smile with business humming!

What fun to be in town these days

Where back-to-work seems a new craze!

 

Down Rue des Halles new buildings rise;

Tall cranes and scaffolding surprise

While road drills stir up dust and noise

The buzz is back, but it annoys!

 

With tempting offers on display

Three-for-the-price-of-two?  Hooray!

This longed-for warmth gives life a spurt

Some bargain-hunting wouldn’t hurt!

 

Time to chink a glass or two

Catch up with old friends, or make new

Indulge in meet-ups face-to-face;

In sun the world’s a brighter place!
