Recipe: Poulet Roti - French Style Le Chant Royal Instalment 3

RECIPE: “Poulet Roti” French Style – Le Chant Royal (Instalment 3) (Note: Rhyme scheme of “Le Chant Royal” where capital “E“stands for refrain, thus – Stanza: ababccddedE, Envoi: ddedE) STANZA II Cut the hot-water supply, make chicken freeze Tear up the electric connections, the telephone Ensure chicken swallows upstairs dust, e’en sneeze Fix the plumbing, flood coop with merde from heaven Funnel exhaust fumes into coop car cabin After fixing the engine – closed doors – unseen And when chicken leaves coop to forage for food Invade the coop, sabotage shower for good So as to keep chicken skin in constant stink See that chicken pays for all damage in blood Give the Alien Crowd free rope’s nodding wink! ENVOI Use the migrant lêches culs, the all-willing brood Rejects from anarchic lands up to no good Kitchen-help strut as Mason Chefs in a blink Make their Masters’ ev’ry wish come true for good Give the Alien Crowd free rope’s nodding wink! © T.
