The iron lady - image taken on Dec 21, 2010, showing a romantically lighted structure amidst all the slush of snow on the ground typical of the current cold spell in Europe.
Never you mind !
Gay Paree, what's to see
La dame de fer, profoundly
towering 324 metres
But devoid of visitors
Never you mind !
Shivers the current cold spell
Engineer Gustave Eiffel
Must you know?
But now carpeted with snow
Never you mind !
Tallest man-made structure
Entrance arch, the 1889 World’s Fair
Had your fair share
Held the title for 41 years
But surpassed in 1930 by the Chrysler's
Never you mind !
Appearing as upstart
Always in my heart
A romantic icon
For all seasons
But holding out on your own
Never you mind !
