Three worm-eaten old grandpas
On a very old mossy bench
Were talking about the rain and the weather.
"The ground here is very hard"
Arthur said
"Even crows fly upside down
To not see misery"
"And your sister she flies the right way up ?"
replied the Prosper
"A bird must hover straight
It's marked in the dictionary"
"Suddenly I throw my cap
Suddenly I'm going to fetch it back"
Dropped the Dédé
"There are the ones who laugh when they fart
And those whom the onion makes cry"
Three old twisted branches
On a very old mossy bench
Chatting each other to get some wind
"There is no love that lasts"
Arthur said
"It puts your heart in disarray
Love is not always Sunday "
"So you didn't know the Lulu ?"
replied the Prosper
"You always see everything austere
Try remember her chubby bottom"
"Love is a bit of a galley
But it's good to row in there"
Dropped the Dédé
"Love is just a bitter hair
It's kind of a sour candy"
Three old bandits still hairy
Between the green and the hoary
The French Cancan was told
There was Arthur
There was the Dédé
There was the Prosper
"Life is nothing like jam"
Arthur said
"It's hard
Sometimes I'll eat my hat"
"You sleep like you do your litter"
replied the Prosper
"Rather than work on your visor
Just munch some camembert ^^"
"It's not that I'm bored, but I'm bored stiff now"
Said the Dédé
"Hey
You're pissing me off, I'm going home for supper"
Three old grandpas under a plane tree
Both hands on the handle of the cane
The only pépé was the Dédé
Hey
The two pépéres were the Arthur
Arthur and Prosper
Oyere
Three old grandpas
Three grandpas were chatting

Re: It’s so nice - till it’s not!
Tonight I saw a French man selling crepes on the Riverside. Also saw two Jehova witnesses trying their luck with some of those foreigners. Didn’t stick around to see how that panned out.

Re: It’s so nice - till it’s not!
It's as fair as having an American selling burgers, or a Khmer selling prahok.
Why not stick around awaitng the Jeovah clash while munching a French specialty ?
A sweet bite and a free show isn't that bad
