Histoire d'Une Pissoire

click on pic for a summertime train trip, en français

Mini-Mogette
( Her friends say MnM)
Was working in the Vendée hills today
Again

Up, down
Ca monte, ça descend...
Une Deuche: imbattable encore
Et toujours
Dans les descentes

A sprinkling of snow
Had turned the green slopes
Tout blanc
Mardi dernier...

But now
La neige had
...disparu
The sky
Was blue...

So MnM posed
For an arty-farty
Photo
Or two

She sends to you
Dear Mogette friends
From near or far
This pictorial

Histoire
Of
A State-Of-Art

Pissoire.

For a Ringo Starr
 ...treat for the kids...

(MnM loved the mini-lavabo designer flourish. "Probably never used", she said. Cynic. Ed.)

Old Signs, New Tricks...

Mini-Mogette
or
MnM
To her friends

Est allée
Se promener
On a January day

Elle a fait
Une pause
At les traffic-lights
De L'Oie

Next to
L'Hotel
Du Grand Turc

She turned
A gauche
Towards MOUchamps
And Le Colombier
Where is enterré
Georges Clemenceau...

And then
MnM
Jumped down
From the rusty
Road-Enseigne

And
became
BIG Mogette
Again

Here is the proof:
