   Is there a way to <snip>

If `mark-paragraph' doesn't do it for you, try `copy-paragraph', below.

(defun copy-paragraph ()
  "Save body of current paragraph to kill ring."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (let ((beg (progn (forward-paragraph -1)
                      (point)))
          (end (progn (forward-paragraph 1)
                      (point))))
      (kill-ring-save beg end))))


,----  M-x apropos
| forward-paragraph
|   Command: Move forward to end of paragraph.
| [...]
| mark-paragraph
|   Command: Put point at beginning of this paragraph, mark at end.
`----> use it
