by Robert Desnos (1900 - 1945)

La dame pavot nouvelle épousée
Language: French (Français) 
La dame pavot nouvelle épousée
a demandé à son mari
Quelle est l’année ?
Quel est le mois ?
Quelle est la semaine ?
Quel est le jour ?
Quelle est l’heure ?
Et son mari a répondu
— Nous sommes en l’an 40
nous sommes au mois de Juillobre
semaine des quatre jeudis
jour de gloire
midi sonné
Belle année, agréable mois,
charmante semaine, jour merveilleux
Heure délicieuse.
