joie de vivre, joy of life, seize the day!
joie de vivre, joy of life, seize the day!
When I find a new term like this I have to use it right away.
joie de vivre, joy of life, seize the day!
Now if I just knew how to pronounce it!
she and I would be a much better fit.
the pretty French word, joie might sound like joy,
for what else would make sense, right, my sweet boy?
de is probably de, like b is b and c is c.
for whatever else could ‘de’ possibly be?
But vivre has me snogged and snoozled.
drawn and quartered, quickly bamboozled.
Is my non-French speaking mouth smart enough?
Can I figure it out without any kind of extra fuss?
joie de vivre, joy of life, seize the day!
joie de vivre, joy of life, seize the day!
When I find a new term like this I have to use it right away.
He was first known as Jean-Philippe Smet in Paris, France,
and became very popular when given the chance.
This famous performing French artist’s birthday would be
on the date of 15 June, in 1943.
Many would consider him the French Elvis Presley.
Under his new pseudonym of Johnny Hallyday,
he achieved fame as the top French singer of his day.
A tireless performer that many fans extol,
Johnny would become number one with French rock n’ roll.
His popularity would indeed go very far.
Not only a singer, he was a top movie star.
With eighteen platinum albums and four hundred tours,
this is a star all the French-speaking public adores.
Thanks to wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.

Askuwheteau meaning he keeps watch was a French speaking Indian who came
from the Algonquin tribe head aching from braids he lay down his long hair and sit
propped against a tree not far from the wigwams he lived in there he played his
flute to soothe his tired mind watching for any signs of harm to his people he had a
knack for spotting out shadows of other beings well before the figure came into
focus but this particular night was calm and peaceful knowing this he played with an
echo enticing the spirits to come and dance for this was a rare occasion where there
need be no worry of attackers to pleage them his people not far hearing the joyous
celebration skipped across the woods to join him song turned to feast and feast
turned to stories being told around a new built fire feeling eased and secure no
need for shelter they soon fell into a heavenly slumber
