The Fries

Tomorrow I’m eating fries, Marion,
It gives me full of pep,
Yellows, walleye, salty,
I will eat hot fries.

Tomorrow I’m eating fries, Marion,
Belgians, sweet flamingos,
Walloon girls, redheaded girls,
Out of the oven, all hot.

Eating fries is not stupid
English, golden, or Norwegian,
The fries it gives a hell of a peach
Tomorrow, Marion, give me the fries.




Demain, je mange des frites, Marion,
Ça me donne voyons, une sacrée frite,
Des jaunes, des dorées, des salées,
Je mangerai des frites chaudes,  moi.

Demain, je mange des frites, Marion,
Des belges, des flamandes douces,
Des wallonnes, des filles rousses,
Sorties du four, toutes chaudes.

Manger des frites, ce n’est pas bête
Anglaises, dorées, ou norvégiennes,
Les frites ça donne une sacrée pêche
Demain, Marion, tu me donnes la frite.

Loke you, I too enjoy eating fried items, spicy and hot, especially in cold weather and when it rains. I wonder if they are quite healthy. Enjoy a good munch dear Yaan.

Thanks for the poem about eating fries, Yann. Sara made me some to eat with dinner. :-) We don't eat them very often anymore, but I used to eat them almost every day. Glad you enjoy them, my friend. Have a great weekend! Bill

We all know that they are not the healthiest item we can eat but they are good. The title of the poem caught my attention and drew me in. I hope you have those fries and enjoy them to the fullest. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

Ah I love this, although I am not sure many will understand, so for some humor, I will say yes for Fries and Mayo Belgium is the place to be, but for the Connoisseur of excellent food and fine wine, oh la la we stay in France and of course if we want a heart attack we visit Quebec and have a poutine! L) Loved the poem
