The world is full of boring people.  
Quite honestly, there are so few  
that facing Eifel's glowing steeple  
won't just take "selfie", and adieu.  
What of the Louvre? Of Mona Lisa  
or of the Pyramids of Gisa?  
That'll rate a selfie, too, of course  
Our culture has grown vain and coarse.  
Well, as for me, I take my travel  
with earnest, even grim delight,  
and all I need -- my laptop's light!  
My feet on Lazy Boy -- not gravel,  
I scan these selfies, one by one.  
Ugh, nothing new. Again. I'm done.
