The Chacal Trot

My random words from Day of the Jackal were: 
and chacal thought started Valmy

Le Chacal started out one day,
and thought he'd made his way to France -
he asked the way to Valmy, but
they only taught him how to dance.

The Day of the Jackal premiered the same day I got married, Jack, but my mind was definitely elsewhere that day!! As usual your poetic style entertains! Regards // paul
