I, personally don't speak or read french. It didn't seem to stand in my way of adapting the accent which helps to pick up on the twists of the language. In any event, this was entertaining and a delight to read.

Oh to have such an understanding and obliging fiance! Glad you limited French was enough to appreciate this bit of silliness.

very funny. Humerous poems are so much fun and so memorable. They should be taken more seriously! This poem would be so much fun to read aloud, it would be a real crowd pleaser, even with the liberties you mentioned above. It is so cleverly written that I can over-look any faux pas. You have made me want to practice my French. It is such a sexy language.

Thank you for your kind review. Sexy language indeed. Do you know the fabulous scene in 'A Fish Called Wanda' where John Cleese seduces Jamie Lee Curtis? Except that was in German!

Merci monseur!!
It is not the best French I have heard but effective for the purpose.
The purist will actually shun work like this but I must say to me it was a pleasurable read.
Well done
