Mon Dieu!

The English marched on Agincourt

With hoards of longbowmen

To fight the army of the French.

They were terribly surprised when

They loosed a thousand arrows

And those chic Parisian dorks

Brought out the champagne bottles

And fired back with corks.

Wait… Did The French Just Surrender To Tourists?

So the Louvre closed its doors today

Which is how Mona Lisa would say

“Je ne t’aime pas

“Alors au revoir.”

(And yes, those do rhyme by the way)

Je ne peux pas me marier parce qu’il y a un dinosaure dans l’église

Duolingo says I’m wrong

When I type “La buste” instead of “Le buste”

But it also told me it couldn’t get married because there was a dinosaur in the church

So I’m not really sure who to trust.

I Actually Wrote A French Poem Too, But If You’re Reading This You Probably Don’t Like That Kinda Thing

If I were born in France

I’d have had a harder childhood.

I’m a pretty nerdy dude

Which means it wouldn’t be too good

To be in school and hunted

Like hounds hunt a fox

Except I’m French, to I’d surrender

To all the athletic Jacques.

Duo, Pourquoi Es-Tu En Colère?

There once was a multilingual green owl

Whose temper had grown fully foul.

He said “Practice your French!”

As he pulled out a wrench

Then watched me spell “vingt” with a scowl.

Jacques Strap? (Comment A Better Title… I Dare You)

They called me “french-fry fingers”

‘Cause I’m just that bad at bowling.

See, oil gets all over the ball

After it starts a rolling.

Then it hits the bowling pins

And knocks down one or two.

Emotionally salty, physically oily,

And that’s why. Comprenez-vous?

A Oui Problem…

When I discovered my gender-neutral parent

Was not my biological dad

I realized it was quite the faux pa.

Yes, this poem is bad.

My Foray Into French Poetry (It’s a 12y)

When I went to France

I got a pet 4.

I 5 to my knees

And I gave it a pat.

I wanted to pet it

But was told to 6.

If you don’t know French numbers

You’ve had e9 of 10.

I’m Going To Say This Before Every Meal From Now On

Jesus was born in a manger

And in French “manger” means “to eat.”

I don’t know how that is relevant

But I still think it is neat.
