Thanks Tabitha :)
This made me laugh for the first time in months.
If you can read French, you might also enjoy this collection of about 35 poems - "Mots D'Heures: Gousses, Rames: The D'Antin Manuscript" by Luis D. Antin Van Rooten - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140057307/drbobsvirte00-20/
This is one of my favourites:
Un petit d'un petit s'étonne aux Halles.
Un petit d'un petit: Ah! Degres te fallent!
Indolent qui ne sort cesse,
Indolent qui ne se mène;
Qu'import un petit d'un petit
Tous Gai de Reguennes.
