France says Liberty Equality Fraternity
Mademoiselle London says Generosity Tenacity Hilarity
–
Sober, my French is grounded
One drink later, my French starts soaring
Two drinks later, my French is zooming
Three drinks later, its engine falters
Four drinks later, it’s taken a dive
Five drinks later, it sinks without trace
–
I was in London having fish n chips with the Queen
She said
That Sarkozy came round my gaff
He’s a smarmy git but his wife had nice shoes
–
In a galaxy far far away
A Parisian once told me
I spoke French like Yoda
Charming he was
Flirt I did
English I am
–
The French like to say
C’est compliqué
But it’s not complicated
You’re sleeping with your husband’s friend
You’re a bitch
It’s simple
