by Max Jacob (1876 - 1944)

Pour demain soir
Language: French (Français) 
« Où allez-vous, canards bercés ?
- faire les bateaux sur la mare. »

« Où vas-tu, cheval boiteux ?
- chercher la reine pour la promenade
la reine a des souliers d'argent ;
son ombrelle est en peau d'éponge. »

« Où vas-tu, vilain chien de route ?
- aiguiser mes dents au soleil. »

« Toi où vas-tu pauvre vieillard ?
- à la ville, chercher du lard, 
du lard et du sel pour ma bile
je crois qu'il est deux heures un quart
et ma mort est pour demain soir. »
