There was Poppa with Nana in front of the Eiffel Tower There he was sitting on a scooter He looked so different when he was young There was a menu from the Italian restaurant where he discovered zeppole And look at that map of New York City It had an X marked on it Theo wondered what it meant Maybe it was another one of Poppa’s discoveries Someday Theo wanted to be an explorer too Just like Poppa
