Clemenceau Typo

Mogette La 2CV Coquette,,,has un ami, you know

Qui s'appelle...Salado.

Salado is a walking-stick

Made from a branche of peuplier tree

From along the Camino, you see...

In Navarra Basque...Country

[You can see Salado Aventures HERE]

Did you know?

Photoshop, version 1935?

That Georges Clemenceau...Was never happy

If, par malheur, mistakenly

Someone placed an accent on the "E"

Of his name of famille?

And so...in octobre1935

When the porcelaine pancarte sign

Was fabriqué by Michelin

To show le chemin...to his little summer cabane...

On Vendée littoral...

A petite erreur...was corrigée...

Après installation.

Salado is, perhaps...the only walking-stick who is au courant about that...

 

Brande and Brant Geese Part Two

 

From Clemenceau beach

To White Rochers

Of Port de Plaisance

Marina of Jard sur Mer

Is one hour of promenade

Le long de la plage...

Et tout l'hiver

You can see, par chance

Hundreds and centaines

Of Bernaches Cravants

Which are in English

Brants, or Brents, or Brant Geese

These oiseaux migrateurs

Spend summers

In tundra arctique

With eggs, then chicks

And then un tour magique

A clever trick...

Bernaches cravants; can you see their cravates? 

Click on photo to see the Brants at St Vincent sur Jard

They travel south

To feed on Atlantique sea-weed...

And then

In spring

Go north again.

The cousin of Mogette's Proprio

Is an ornithologie expert, you know

And he lives en Angleterre...in cottage chaumière

So merci beaucoup le cousin Mick

For your expertise ornithologique.

Brande et Brant Geese Part One

Mogette et son Propriétaire...Yesterday and hier

Did go... to la mer, in mid-winter blue crystal air

Encore to summer house of Clemenceau

And there...With two degrés of température

And wind of Nord...She posed for a photo

For you, dear Mogettistes..Next to a hole, un trou

In garden fence cloture ...Which is made of matériaux

In France, we call BRANDE...

Not like en anglais BRAND, oh no, les amis et amies...Rien à voir

Nothing to see...

Not "Marque de manufacture" ...This cloture, she

...Mogette knows very well 

Is made of élément... cent-pour cent...Naturel.

We say in French "Bruyère"...Bicoz, for many francophone parleur

It is impossible to say

"Heather"...[EE-Z'HEURE?]

And so, the fence cloture of heather

Keeps out the winter windy weather

And peut-etre...Le regard oblique

Of visiteur every day of week

Who would like to say...He, or she, or they

Had had a clin d'oeil peek

Of dune garden... Inspired by Clemenceau's friend Monet...

And what, Mogette can hear you ask

Are BRANT GEESE?

Our little amie poète will...un-mask

The masquerade of these...Mystère mysteries

In next bad poésie...See you there!

(Apologies from Mogette, for missing accents circonflexes and others

...bicoz

Her clavier keyboard is défectu-oz)
