by Maurice Rollinat (1846 - 1903)

Le Jambon
Language: French (Français) 
Je le vois toujours, ce jambon,
Avec un appétit nouveau.
Fier, il pendait au soliveau
Antique et noir comme un charbon.

Oh ! devait-il être assez bon !
Gros comme une cuisse de veau !
Je le vois toujours, ce jambon,
Avec un appétit nouveau.

Il me hantait pour tout de bon
L’estomac comme le cerveau,
Mais je viens d’en manger. Bravo !
Cette chair est un vrai bonbon.
— Je le vois toujours ce jambon.

Confirmed with Maurice Rollinat, Dans les brandes, poèmes et rondels, Paris, Charpentier, 1883, pages 165-166.
