Gallic Garlic Gall of Gaul


Hands clench stuck in a culinary trench with no French

Devotion can’t bench sensory commotion a saucy wench

Emotions wrench if no whiff on the breeze of cheese stench 

Potions & notions quench..ocean lotions tastebuds drench

For a foodie bouillebaisse with timeless grace like Judi Dench


No dodgy Brigitte Bardot politics or slick card tricks of tarot

Go for Gallic garlic gall.. all will enthrall when in Gaul..Escargot

Choir of desire ce soir more beurre.. pot au feu.. boudin noir 

The star steak au poivre or oeuvre as they make fresh tartare


Mussel frites hustle.. boozy bustle.. shellfish tussle of a bistro

Cassoulet with pomme puree then creme brulee classics spar    

Foie gras a mardi gras or bizarre faux pas in brasserie bazaar

Pastry crew Michelin route could be choux or tasty en croute 

Never hasty flavour douche a louche croquembouche maestro 
 

Pouting fondue goo spouting fountains on mountains outing

Creamy tartiflette or steamy andouillette from piggy toilette 

Forget Pret get a better baguette cornichons raclette touting    

What’s more francois then petit pois or dreamy dauphinoise

Carbs shouting.. barbs flouting.. baked camembert scouting

No doubting dishes with calories sprouting diets are a routing


For some it’s foodie hell for me Heaven..my true blue belle 

Fruit de Mer in that terracotta apparel has me over a barrel

Travel under the spell crustaceans relations you fell.. unravel     

Shell fish fresh from saline swell my divine dell in La Rochelle


No askance glance at the chance for your palette to dance

In a trance at how they enchant stuff always buff & enhance

Know in advance their cultural stance.. revolution..the lance

Saw red aristocrats dead off with their head no longer prance 

Instead perchance adored smorgasbord hoard vive la France
