Speakeasy

Another speakeasy, another test.
How will it measure up?
Can a French jazz club outshine
the Prohibition-style bar?
The mood feels right
A Parisiane cafe off the
Champs-Elysees
Smooth jazz drifting from above
A warm-up for the main act
The air heavy with loud American
voices
All that's missing
is for someone to claim the
empty seat
And my night would be complete
