There once was a rather shy bird named Francois, who lived in a beautiful park by the Eiffel Tower. One day, Francois heard a pesky tourist coming closer, so he ducked behind some flowers.
Eh, it's only another American lady with a camera, thought Francois.
Francois decided that he might as well climb out onto the rock beside his lake and take a closer look.
Pish! Do ze tourists have nothing better to do? Why don't zey go and sit by a lake instead?
Perhaps, thought Francois, if I turn my back on her she'll get ze hint and go away.
Heh, what's that? Ze lady says I'm a very handsome bird. . . allors, I am a handsome bird, non?
I am quite handsome from ze front . . .
and from ze left . . . . .
and also from ze right . . . . hey! Hey, American lady, where do you go? Francois has many good sides left, come back! You don't want anymore photos of that stupid Tower. Come back, mon cher . . . . . . . . !
Tres cute, Kristine!
ReplyDeleteROTFL over ze bird. never work with kiddies or animals. Sounds like you two are having a ball. You know everytime I hear Rule Britania the perverse part of me thinks, oh, but there were thousands of Briton who were slaves. Cours,e tehre's a quote from France saying there were no slaves there either. Ah Europe, Anyway,you two know my obsessions -- beyond Gerry Butler -- with all things Black Brit history, so you spot something, point it my way, eh?
