I can't ! I'm laughing too hard at the thought of the poems that will appear here.

OK, just to get mine in here before Roger and Marion and those dudes put up an act too hard to follow.

You will have a oui big mess, my brave John
if you start out insulting them this way.
They will not take it as a friendly come-on
The French do not know how those games to play.

Though they may be (and are) computer-challenged
they are bookoo well-read and know it all.
And if you don't believe me, you can ask them.
They have been knowing all since Adam's fall.

And they can cook. That's why you're going, no?
And they have wines and cheeses in each stall.
And each has taste and class, each has a bon mot
And if that's not enough, they know it all.

And if that's not enough, the native lingo
though nasal, is the second best on earth.
Just don't extol Anglaise or mutter bingo.
How can the French not salut M. Whitworth?
