Mogette la 2cv coquette
Very médiocre bilingue poète
Paused for a photo, just one
At lever of Sun
On this beautiful morning
Of nearly-automne...
The chêne solitaire
Over there
Her favourite tree
Plus-que-centenaire
Next to Le Ruisseau du Parc
Stood, in majesty
As lumière
Pierced the dark...
Greens, les verts
Foncés
Of its leaves of oak
A merveilleux scene...
With smoky mist
Fumeux, brûmeux...
And fingers
Of light
En diagonale...
"Deglet nour
En arabe, yes, yes!"
S'exclama La Deuch-esse
And now
Dear Mogettian mates
Our héroine...
Deux-cylindres machine
Will take her proprio
For breakfast
...of bread bio
And délicieux dattes
(En anglais, we say "dates")
...
A variété which
In Arabic
To be sure
Is called
Deglet
Nour
