BONUS QUOTE:
"When it comes to literature, the French count the largest number of Nobel Prizes, their authors include one who wrote a whole book without using the letter e and another who, suffering from locked-in-syndrome after a severe stroke, dictated a memoir by blinking his eye as an amanuensis read through the alphabet."

OM FRANKRIKE



En framtung madam i La Hague
hon hade så stora behag
att en palltruck gick bet
och så vitt som jag vet
var visst även en lyftkran för svag

En färgblind man från Bordeaux
han vill nog men kan ej förstå
att hans flagga ej blott
är nyanser av grått
utan tredelat röd, vit och blå

 IN ENGLISH 

A teenage slut from Verdun
said to her boyfriend; we´re done
I may not be so bright
but I know what I like
and you´re finished before you begun

A barbiefaced girl from Dunkerque
had a boyfriend who act like a jerk
but he took it to far
when he said; wash my car
and when prom night came he had to lurk

A zombie in drag from La Hague
had a bra that was made from a rag
but he claim that it hurts
like his bodybag skirts
he´s a tiresome, aftermath nag
