Limerick: Once Cute Pute In Gay Paris Called Miel

Limerick: Once Cute Pute in Gay Paris called Miel

Once Cute Pute* in Gay Paris called Miel*
Plied her trade around a Ferris Wheel
Rode them roller coaster
Spun them on wheel later
Got lush cut on fines for police squeal!*

•	Pute: stands for “prostitute” in French
•	Miel: for “honey” in French
•	A new French Bill, dated December 7, 2011,
proposes the fining of prostitutes’ clients. French law,
by and large, tolerates the profession, even if overt 
solicitation, procuring, and prostitution of minors 
IS NOT. According to French law, sexual maturity
is recognised at 15, but for prostitutes 18 is the 
legitimate age. Prison sentences range from 2 to 7
for related offences, and fines can run up to €100,000.
