why is great Paris so named, you may ask  
some say, a famed Celtic tribe  
I think the City of Love got its task  
due to the Trojan -- and bribe

mighty she was, Aphrodite, in none  
of a great prince's demands  
but, as it turns, she excelled in just one  
one that will often wreck plans

love, she did promise, and love he shall have  
enough for a thousand ships  
Helen rebelling, and all for that love  
Odyssey-full of bad trips

was it all worth it, since Helen did flee  
back to the Sparta of old  
no referee who's been to gay Paree  
minds that this story's been told
