by Émile André (1838 - 1897)

Mademoiselle Tartine
Language: French (Français) 
De Mademoiselle Tartine
En biscuit était le palais ;
Tous les murs étaient en farine,
Les planchers étaient en croquet.
Son lit était un pot de crême,
Son oreiller un petit chou ;
Le moelleux édredon, lui-même,
Était fait de fromagemou.
   Tartine,
   On le devine,
   Était, sans me moquer,
   Gentille à croquer.

Sa bouche était en confiture,
Ses yeux en faïence de Rouen,
En ivoire était sa denture
Et ses jambes en vif argent.
Sa  joue était en peau de pêche,
Son nez était en massepain,
Ses dix doigts en saucisse fraîche,
Ses cheveux en poils de lapin.
   Tartine,
   On le devine,
   Était, sans me moquer,
   Gentille à croquer.
