Grande Elegance
by Yvonne Blake Pirre and Adlle Strolled the river's edge As often lovers do. She batted her eyes; He stammered and choked, And scuffed the dirt with his shoe. "Regardez la!" He cried, "I found a coin, It's gold, glittery and new!" His heart beat fast; His eyes gleamed bright, To think of what he'd do. "When I'm a man, I will buy you a ring, And a feathery grand chapeau." Adlle's eyes twinkled, "A carriage, s'il vous plait, Painted silver, with cushions of bleu?" "Mais, oui!" he exclaimed, "Whatever you wish, For this is luck, 'tis true." "I wish for a maid To braid up my hair And to fetch my satin shoes." "Ah, oui! C'est bon! And I, a gentleman, With a chauffeur, perhaps two." "We will need a chef, For pastries and breads, And chicken Cordon bleu." "Our house will be Trs magnifique, A marvelous chateau!" So on they dreamed As they strolled along, As lovers often do. Upon the footbridge They paused at the rail To watch the water's flow. "Pirre, may I see The gold coin again, To hold for a moment, too?" He reached for the coin In his pantalons, But a hole had let it through. So to the dreams Of grande elgance, The lovers said, "Adieu."
