French Toast With a Twist

It's so amazing
I'll leave you never
I'm blessed that I'm with  you
don't leave me ever

I chored to be with you
Don't call me clever
Might fortune favor us
in our endeavors

Now that That we are lovers
let's stay together
I wish us to marry
A time for us to treasure
Our freinds and Family
Celebrating together
We'l kiss and then we'll
be on our honeymoon

Henri

Henri Nostradamus I read one time, Said wars were coming, it’s to chime, A German Pope would lead the war, Prince Henri would be fighting for, His other name is Harry, Perhaps Prince Henri of old France, Is our cousin Harry, sometimes Henry, he likes to visit war, takes a chance, visits British troops, and the Moslem enemy, A new French Pope, may anoint him Emperor, a Charlemagne of this future time, for battles won with the Moslem horde, Nostradamus bells this chime?

Weirdo and Wurhoissher

"French Horn Overtones"
"They are watching me now
They watch all of us
I distorted my voice so
They don't know it's me
They said it came from
B$$$$$$tro but we knew
It didn't.
Code word is Cing of the Forest "
 "Bassoon is ah wait tis time we starts
the Thing-ah Jig, you'll know the words
To the following." Said the interrupting
Loud speaker. I have your kazo, I will be
In contact.
Yeah all right than the guy answered
As he walked away.
For real man why she so weird said
Strangs, I don't know but she some kinda
Phatt dough!
Don't change that one I like it
Like that, you heard what I said
See I love that one, I like this one too.
It rare when you like something and
Others like it too.
Maybe you don't know nothing bout that
Cause folk geek you out,
I ain't bragging, but sometimes that's what
It's about!"

RECIPE: “Poulet Roti” French Style - Ballade “Le Chant Royal” 9

STANZA VIII

The French way is to damn you as litigant
Constant professional victim of the Law
Make you read law books be your own defendant
Rush about hang in queues write letters in awe
To lawyers judges ministers presidents
Cull evidence witnesses sealed documents
Which lawyers misplace refuse to cite in case
Desert you in court judges’ contempt to face
Appeal after appeal the single-parent
Must kneel to abuse looks threats to save one’s face
Ev’ry legal ruse used to make one relent

ENVOI

The mother well-entrenched in high police place
Tightens the screws turns the spit with cruel grace
Lets son stew in acrid juice with lone parent
While her wild secret antics rue her race
Ev’ry legal ruse used to make one relent

STANZA  IX

Snubbed by Churchill, de Gaulle’s June 18th appeal
Saves not crushed Rouen, Paris to liberate
Triumphant Le Clerc hurries after ordeal
Did not Liberation make Resistants great
Nazi Chief’s deaf ear lets not Hitler burn Paris
Do the sacred cow Resistants scorn hubris
“Now e’en Presidents fear veteran Police!”
Ditto whole appareil judiciaire en lice!
Not till the last of veteran Combatants
Take Bastille Day’s Arc de Triomphe honoured place
Nor till Allied Forces be hailed true Conquérants?

ENVOI

Overnight the mother serves as plaything nice
For lawyers judges politicos police
All Free-Masons none resist as Resistants
No place for father and son in such premise
Nor till Allied Forces be hailed true Conquérants?

A Soothing Si

It revivals the obvious
scripting fun and pleasure
a mix that is as addictive as
anything one could
find needing
octave monte' in ranges
situated between measures
a sound that is different than the
sound
that it mad by the musician who
chore to be perfect and
more on time 
Six Double Basses provided
the deep sound
along with a Tuba, 6 bassoons
and a flute that glided
on the warm summery air that
was fragrant with a Monte Cristo scented
dining area
we awaited lunch as we were hungry from
a day of rehearsal
salad and sandwiches with a
raspberry-tea and French Macaroons
she wrote the lyric here
she said it was from being in love with what
was going on.
" I watched her want to be
with someone she thought
was out of her League
I took the opportunity to be
someone she would the envy"
"What makes perfect the night
from the start of a lovely day"

    STANZA  X

Even as this Royal Lay comes to an end
Yet one more crime hatched on one more ruse and lie
Gets committed to drive this one round the bend:
“Bite the bait, harrowed be, before you die!”
Same message for more than half a century
The Kafkayesque trial that wastes energy:
Witnesses who’d gladly turn King’s evidence
Lawyers who’d hoodwink you and make no pretence
The migrant crowd trained to oust you out of bounds
To please authority Left or Right of fence
Independent de Gaulle men gone from home grounds.

   ENVOI

“Freemasons Grand Orient kind take offence,
Want you kept down whatever your innocence:
At the highest level this decision stands!”
Said de Gaulle Police Chief in-charge of defence.
Independent de Gaulle men gone from home grounds.

“Come, join us! Stand alone and we’ll make you sweat!
See how your spouse sucks with us, so will your son!
Those who prop you up depart, yes, with regret.
Men can’t pull their weight alone under any sun!”
“I have a book I consult from time to time
Which makes me believe how in another clime
My high-born friends still wish me well on this earth
Wish me to stick to my guns, stick to my birth.”
“Bring your book with you, we pay well for clues views
Glimpses into the future to boost our girth.
Our Nation über Alles! Make that news!”

ENVOI

	“Look up into the Heavens, then down on Earth!
	Think on trillion worlds where our lives provoke mirth
	The Légion d’honneur lapel pin, on Death’s dues!
	Is Life merely about success stories, not Truth?”
	Our Nation über Alles! Make that news!

STANZA VII

The warning first comes from the job’s admin head:
“The Secret Service will persecute you to death!”
Then they drum the son hammer and tongs on head
After mounting terror to cut short his breath:
“We’ll slaughter your dad just as your mom we spurn
Do as we say or you too will on spit turn!
Breathe not a word of this or hell you will pay!”
Of course the son his brain maimed mums what they say,
Just as his mother drugged raped blackmailed by State
Does what she always covert did without pay.
Seek not asylum where Rights scarce pullulate!

ENVOI

Now the stakes hinge on what the father might say
E’en childhood friends turn up to act in French play
Each act in this drama unfolds roles through fate
Aesthetic distance wrote original play.
Seek not asylum where Rights scarce pullulate!

Quill by feather each pock-mark telltales French skill
Twisted beck wan crooked claws warts on bruised skin
Thus MARIANNE marinates asylum swill

Dog ev'ry step the chicken takes e'en secret
Day and night confine the bird to its cramped coop
And there make the migrant crowd damn nincompoop
Morning day or mid of night drill his ears through
Lace marinade with acid sauce Injun soup
Let the World know how well chicken basks in stew

A Good Time (French Ballade)

I'll walk into the dance tonight
proudly holding my head up high,
Without a date I'll go in spite
don't care what my presence imply,
and if I'm teased I won't reply
I'll simply smile it's not a crime,
Although I'm here without a guy
I intend to have a good time.


So glad I was for the invite
Dressed up to kill, I'm looking fly,
I'll dance tonight with all my might
'cause on the dance floor I'm not shy,
Eying the guys, I won't deny,
Maybe I'll find one who's not slime
but if I don't I'll never cry,
I intend to have a good time.


The decor is a lovely sight
Red, gold and green in great supply,
The lighting here is not too bright
When in the corner of my eye
I see someone in silver tie,
As bright as a shiny new dime,
and he approached with smile so sly
I intend to have a good time.


I am his choice, I don't care why
He's handsome and I'm still in prime,
We dance all night, he holds me nigh,
I intend to have a good time.

STANZA IV
One thing's to find fourteen-storey toilet waste
Stealthily creep up your ground-floor shower drain
Another's to watch the migrant surgeon paste
Some part of your body he cuts up - in vain
Yet another: watch nurses scowl in pleasure
As they stuff some part of you with germs for sure
Unaware that some medicine or remedy
Can do you more harm than climate tragedy
Know not which doctor keeps Hippocrate sermon
Nor which in patriot secret society
The State always fears for its reputation

ENVOI
	No place in such a State for chicken curry
	The secret service thrives on Poulet roti
	If wisdom tooth hurts guess who drills canine down 
	If glasses need changing better change body
	The State always fears for its reputation

STANZA III
The idea's to pluck the chicken naked dead
But to keep it alive so long as there's fun
Stick pins and needles all the time on its head
So that when the COQ crows you know the bird's done
Was Marquis de Sade Torquemada's agent
The Socialist Mayor now out on tangent
Wishing spindle glass tower turns ivory
To keep him in power sans democracy
Get henchmen to preach comeuppance damnation 
Tighten screws on chicken spit sans clemency
Now that lame bird can't fly away sans nation

ENVOI
          Vain Socialist pique harks back to idiocy
          Lax morals sport with intellect's papacy
          Skinned and spiked chicken calls for condemnation
          Do Napoléons fear Waterloo or Holy See
          Now that lame bird can't fly away sans nation

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!

Robe with a voice disguiser is cool, what
Ya'll doing later on?
Hey I gotta go, we will talk later!

Abrogated Alcove

when you wanted to give me
you never said for a while
salavic eclipse per epilepsy 
test of the taste then a bile
like a swing in the atmosphere's mood
scared earth passionate puke
next the sky seemed to be soothe 
catharsis resetting her view

I never held back
like the waves pulling her muse
contractions of zeal moistened hard
supine sand tracing the tune
chaperoned by a virtuoso, 
torrent complimenting the blue
undaunted, feigning its strokes
catharsis resetting her view

This mouth counted its syllables 
tossed each subsequently
watched them dance dribbles
erected a mood in your feelings 
like the wind and tiresome trees
the former a bow from the latter drew
shriek a shudder, tortured trees
catharsis resetting her view

I'll love no more, 
feelings transmogrified into glue
like winter firstly to the earth draw
catharsis resetting her view.

Butterfly

I see life through a butterfly for I see freedom, change and hope for a butterfly, like life is so mystical and beautiful. ~~~ Quote by Poet ~~~
BUTTERFLY
The butterfly is always free to fly. Just like a bird, flying up in the sky. Butterfly represents freedom and life. Butterfly symbolizes change and hope. Its beauty is seen with the naked eye. Its mystique makes us imagine and sigh. Its exquisite wings excite and delight. Butterfly symbolizes change and hope. Like life, so mystical and beautiful for it changes and becomes meaningful. It gives hope, perseverance and insights. Butterfly symbolizes change and hope. Free to fly, like free to choose what is right. Butterfly symbolizes change and hope.

Those Where the Good Ole Days

loves interlude
The story of love
it's why I ask myself
we are best together
seems i don't want no one else
people see things differently
it's different in every eye
we say hello just to say
goodbye
why oh why
tell me why oh why
must my heart be broken all the time!.....


Those where the days
those good ole days
when women loved
there men
with honor and respect
those were the good
ole days

Those were the days
those good ole days
men adored 
and they chored
all to help the lady
those were the
good ole days

say it aint so
say it aint true
no collaboration
between me and
you
can we go back
start over again
maybe this time
we will end up
as friends

i like it when
we were together
talk over anything
through
any kinda weather
holding hands
from dawn til dust
spend a little
begg a little
but in god we'd trust
take credit for marring
the two of us
those were the good ole days!

Influences of love; getting back into romance is harder to do!
trumpets, french horns bassey guiars. violens chelloes flutes and woodwinds. sythesizers and right singers creating the right sounds!

She slathered the tart with garlic butter and paresean cheese and began humming in delight. A smile across his face  she askedd him why, they sat there looking into space chewing. After a loud slurp of the wine she made refrance of exercising the meal off. He said something out of the way and she became quiet." the piano player began playing "don't you Want to Know"
and sevral crooners melded together lyrics along side the horn and string orchastra. She was evasive to him, but eager to to with him. She kissed him. and then closed the curtain as the music sang and was orchastrated.

Recipe: Poulet Roti - French Style - Ballade Le Chant Royal - Concluding Stanza

RECIPE: “Poulet Roti” French Style - La Ballade “Le Chant Royal” -Concluding Stanza

(Note: As you can see, I have taken certain liberties with the fixed form, but have always kept close to the spirit of the ballade’s form: rhyme, metre, stanza, envoi, and, now, concluding stanza addressed to an important royal personality. Exceptions are the introductory RECIPE - I and the extension of the FIVE eleven-line stanza to TEN.)

CONCLUDING STANZA

Now you have all seen how the French roast chicken
Not quite different, say, from British cuisine:
Lion-Heart Richard* lies with Jeanne d’Arc in Rouen
Not so different from other Royal spleen.
It matters little if powers visible
Go through motions where kings move invisible
Call it DEMOCRACY, call it what you like
Old shibboleths raise Gorgon heads still to strike
As Greek pauper Prince raised on German Jew brew:
“Seventy years as Pope you reigned recondite,
Never you’ll know the pain you caused all for a few!”

	Sol de France franchi
	Terre d’asile
				A-Dieu!


The “heart” of King Richard the Lion Heart is buried in the Rouen Cathedral - a stone’s throw from where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake - bombarded by the Allied Forces pilot who later let drop the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. (Ref. Cf article by Flint Whitlock on-line.)
