"escargots" poems
Take me back to Chelsea please Where the flossed and glossed smile at me And everyone’s kind to an open mind That’s materialistic in design. Where locals embrace me all open armed Whenever I’m crinkling cash in my palms. So eject me fast from this boorish ****** And take me back to Chelsea please. Take me back to Chelsea please Outside the city’s financial squeeze Where mummy and daddy pay the cheques For my escargots and Ready Brek. I’ll wield through the system with the family name And use all the power of my local fame. Oh, to live life without la joie de fees Come take me back to Chelsea please. Take me back to Chelsea please To put my social norms at ease. I miss my measly excuse of friends Who constantly ***** to make amends For their failed entrepreneurial careers Their dialect a hodgepodge of gobbles and sneers. I long for their monotonous wheeze So take me back to Chelsea please. Chelsea, Chelsea you’re all I adore From the A308 to the A304. You’re the sole nirvana I can’t bear to depart, Your femmes fatales know the paths to my heart. But you will always have the its lock and key So Chelsea: come and take me back please.

Take me back to Chelsea
Sonnet. Dans une terre grasse et pleine d'escargots Je veux creuser moi-même une fosse profonde, Où je puisse à loisir étaler mes vieux os Et dormir dans l'oubli comme un requin dans l'onde, Je hais les testaments et je hais les tombeaux ; Plutôt que d'implorer une larme du monde, Vivant, j'aimerais mieux inviter les corbeaux A saigner tous les bouts de ma carcasse immonde. Ô vers ! noirs compagnons sans oreille et sans yeux, Voyez venir à vous un mort libre et joyeux ; Philosophes viveurs, fils de la pourriture, A travers ma ruine allez donc sans remords, Et dites-moi s'il est encor quelque torture Pour ce vieux corps sans âme et mort parmi les morts !

Le mort joyeux
All are invited to taste-test a French meal, free-of-charge, at the Table of near west side Chef Louis. The first course will be a Salade Niçoise, prepared the usual way – vegetables, salad greens From the Periwinkle family, des oeufs durs et des olives ‒ Flavored with a pinch of myrtle. Those so inclined may have escargots instead. Louis will pop the cork on a vintage vin rouge. The main course: canard à l’orange, spécialité de la maison. Known far and wide as the best duck in town, it has a secret sauce Including the bird’s bone marrow, and is a favorite of Paul Soglin; Hizzoner has been showing up brandishing a “ditch Walker” sign. While the cuisine is incomparable, the dinner music, too, is Délicieuse. In town for only a week is the diva, Renée Fleming, Accompanied by the virtuoso cellist, Yo-Yo Ma. To forestall the Entry of hordes of fans, Louis will have the louvers closed. The wait staff will be in the wings with the *dessert du jour, Crêpes Suzette* – using the best Orange Curaçao ‒ before a small frigate Is unmoored for return to the Lesser Antilles to pick up a new Stash. Louis is a total service restauranteur, and he has vowed to Let all his guests take a selfie, with him, Yo-Yo and Renée, in the Private chef’s booth, in just a glimmer of the day’s remaining light. Though he’s unbearded, Louis uses Brilliantine regularly to help Him attract the most voluptuous of available dates. *Mais, prenez Garde, mes demoiselles, Louis est français, après tout….* © Lewis Bosworth, 7-2017

Plates-bandes d'amarantes jusqu'à L'agréable palais de Jupiter. - Je sais que c'est Toi qui, dans ces lieux, Mêles ton bleu presque de Sahara ! Puis, comme rose et sapin du soleil Et liane ont ici leurs jeux enclos, Cage de la petite veuve !... Quelles Troupes d'oiseaux, ô ia io, ia io !... - Calmes maisons, anciennes passions ! Kiosque de la Folle par affection. Après les fesses des rosiers, balcon Ombreux et très bas de la Juliette. - La Juliette, ça rappelle l'Henriette, Charmante station du chemin de fer, Au coeur d'un mont, comme au fond d'un verger Où mille diables bleus dansent dans l'air ! Banc vert où chante au paradis d'orage, Sur la guitare, la blanche Irlandaise. Puis, de la salle à manger guyanaise, Bavardage des enfants et des cages. Fenêtre du duc qui fais que je pense Au poison des escargots et du buis Qui dort ici-bas au soleil. Et puis C'est trop beau ! trop ! Gardons notre silence. - Boulevard sans mouvement ni commerce, Muet, tout drame et toute comédie, Réunion des scènes infinie Je te connais et t'admire en silence.
