La Muse Bouche

Ryan Blackborough 1984 (Adelaide)

Rhymed
I say to le "grand fromage".
You and your pastiche attachè.
You with all your rakish, cliche.
You think you're so Debonair.
You with another au pair.
You and one more rendezvous.
You again it's déjà vu.
You and another faux pas.
You always with Au revoir.
I say so much "bon voyage".

About this poem

I just felt like trying something different. I don't know French but I'm pretty sure this makes some kind of sense. Either way It's pain et cirque.

      It's mainly the second line that requires a bit of mental gymnastics but I made sure to look up the exact meanings of the couple things I was unsure on. As for the hat It was a nice beret, far better than a berating. Thank you.
