Parlez Vous

Parlez Vous

The French may say merci beacoup
Je ne sais quoi and parlez vous
It’s not the words that turn me on
It’s something else – somewhat beyond
They’re avart garde; like film noir
Haute cuisine; a Peugeot car
It’s not the things they like I seek
It’s not the way the French all speak
No, I’m looking for a tete-a-tete
A femme fatale that falls for me
Joie de vivre with some young miss
Fait accompli – we French Kiss

I was going to write a poem for Cyndi MacMillian’s French contest but I got to playing with the words and forgot all about any format she wanted.  I guess I have to think of something else for the contest.
