Mogette La 2CV Coquette
Very bad bilinguale poète...
Made a pause, ce matin, elle
S'est aventurée en mélange
Of sounds of mésanges
And faucons crécerelles
The day après Avent
In frosty fields of seasonal...sapins
Yes, ah oui!
Christmas pine trees
You see!
From her friend and voisin
Albert
Who cultivates there
Epicéa and Nordmann
For les gens du coin
...That is to say, c'est à dire
The locals, ici, here
Mogette, or her propriétaires
And d'autres personnes, ici, or there
In Pays of Loire rivière
15,000 trees this year from la sapinière...
Yes: quinze Mille
For the Christmas feel-
ing...
At this time of frosty air
And, most importantly, a wish très sincère
Dear friends, chers et chères
... ami.e.s Mogettistes
From your amie mécanique, magique
At risk of sounding like a health freak,
Or donneuse-de-leçon geek...
She simply wishes you all
This winter day
Good health; bonne santé
And please, please, amis and amies
Do your best
If you can
(While we wait for le vaccin)
For the rest
Of year of viral merde Twenty-Twenty
Ensemble, collectively
In good conscience, avec prudence
a-plenty ...
Please try not to make expéditions
From North to South
Or East to West
Of your home régions or nations
Whatever the règles and regulations
May be...
And let's keep this coronaviral malédiction
En exclusion
(Excuse la clunky poésie...)
From friend and family
Célébrations
