C'Est La Vie

I made a faux pas – c’est la vie! And asked for butter on my bread, The other diners stared at me. I made a faux pas – c’est la vie! And then I wanted Earl Grey tea… ‘Il est Anglais,’ the waiter said. I made a faux pas – c’est la vie! And asked for butter on my bread. For Cyndi’s Un, Deux, Trios contest

I LOVE THIS. Does that mean: he is English? The part in the middle that the waiter said? This is such great humor. I hope it scores HIGH, jack. It's short but clever as can be.

This is so cute. I would imagine the looks you would get especially asking for an English tea in France. You came up with a very creative poem for this contest Jack. I hope it does well. I thought it was brilliant!
