David Kavanagh Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Pardon moi french

She’d statuesque legs, and eyes that smoulder
Over came Jacques, tipped her on the shoulder 
              ‘Excuse-moi, femme fatal’
              ‘J’adore’ your bearded pal
“Does she have ‘un pistolet’ or holster?”

Tom Cunningham January 16, 2024 at 12:16 AM My French isn't brilliant but I think I'd opt for the holster lol. Tom David Kavanagh January 16, 2024 at 1:27 AM Definitely the holster would indeed be quite fitting for this upstanding Limerick Tom lol! Cheers David

Kim Rodrigues January 15, 2024 at 4:57 PM Was the answer “Oui, oui, Monsieur, or a nasal, “Non.” Great conversation and imagery. David Kavanagh January 16, 2024 at 1:22 AM Ha ha, I will leave it up to the reader’s imagination Kim, my French is getting me into all sorts of trouble lol! Cheers David
