I had every intention of writing a poem, but time ran out on me. I've just written a rather rude limerick in French for a seriously ill friend of mine just out of hospital. She has been enjoying limericks sent by English friends, and tried to explain the form to the French nurses. I bet she can't keep a straight face when repeating my rudery to them!<br /><br /><br />Il y avait une belle dame, de Soulles,.<br />maigrie comme le cul d’une poule.<br />De la bonne nourriture<br />frites et tarte confiture<br />vont gaver la belle dame de Soulles <br />-<br />She has got very thin, and cul de poule translates as the, ahem, behind of a chicken. <br />Gaver is the verb for to stuff an animal with food to fatten it up. <br />vivinfrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388722600118753457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-81485045583569524392015-02-28T12:25:56.756-05:002015-02-28T12:25:56.756-05:00Resonates...great metaphor...Thank you, Rosemary!Resonates...great metaphor...Thank you, Rosemary!humbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106270909713851811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-87872055188655899272015-02-27T20:41:42.189-05:002015-02-27T20:41:42.189-05:00I like the poem and I like the message.

Her poem made me think how I try to fix anything broken or throw it away. Maybe, there's something to keeping a few as memorabelia.
