Eiffel Tower And Ferris Wheel Poem by Hm. Nes

Mr. Eiffel's awful tower,
'A truly tragic streetlamp'-
Paris fells you in the hour!
Purge the eyesore like a scamp!

Wait! Atop her stands the wire-
Saved us in the Battle Marne
Leave the tower despite such ire
Paris won't regret her scorn

All the world dreams now to see
Mr. Eiffel's lovely tower
Standing proud- forgetting we
Planned her demolition hour

Mr. Ferris built a wheel
Rivaling Mr. Eiffel's tower-
Most dared not believe it real-
So high! So wide! Such power!

What? Chicago tore it down,
Purged the eyesore from her view-
Shipped the wheel to Louis' town-
Fared the same there- Chagrin beaucoup

Dynamite brought down the wheel-
All the world denied a ride-
Ferris' wheel: scrapped pile of steel
Eiffel's tower: all France's pride
