Alexandre Benalla, who’s hogging the French news…
Alex Benalla (may his news decrease!)
Awoke one day and joined the French police
And saw, in easy reach of his matraque,
Protesters, whom he thought he might attack,
“What doest thou?” asked passers-by
Who looked on him askance,
“Moi? Rien! I’m just the henchman
Of the President of France.” LJ
Zsa Zsa, le chien le plus laid du monde, est mort
C’est la triste histoire d’une beauté éphémère, en quelque sorte. En plus, elle ressemble à Winston Churchill…LJ

A bicycle-clip salesman, who
Wished to save people time on the loo,
Added, as a hashtag,
A colostomy bag,
And called it the “Pedal and Poo!”

Rillettes de radis Fastoche
Rillettes de radis Fastoche
Is a dish much in vogue with the Boche
Denn in Frankreich lebt man
Wie Gott nirgendwo kann
And no one can stand German noche
Hatched gratuitously in St.Martin de Ré.
I don’t know who said “The trouble with German food is that no matter how much of it you eat, an hour later you’re hungry for power”, but I wish I had. Very witty, and, of course, harmless.

Limerick
A hash-peddler, Pasha Achache,
Stashed his hash-cash, alas, in the trash,
Till the trash man one day
Took the trash can away
And trashed the Achache hash-cash stash
Written on the terrace of the Marco Polo Pizzeria, for no good reason. LJ
Le Café du Commerce, Ars en Ré
Un joli endroit pour faire un saut en face du port d’Ars. On y mange d’ailleurs très bien.

I love my new bag. It has seven zipped pockets and is better than countless designer products on the market. It also cost €10. I could have bought 30 of them for the price of one inferior handbag.
