A Red Card?
We will never give each other red cards
But how about a red maple leaf from Canada?
We could walk through Bowring Park in St. John’s
And watch the children play around Peter Pan
We will never give each other red cards
But like monarchs under bright red parasols
We could be the sovereigns of each other’s hearts
Along the Chao Phraya, the River of Kings
We will never give each other red cards –
But would you like a mischievous red balloon
And a morning in Paris?
Music: “Le Ballon Rouge,” Maurice Leroux
