SOUPS to Warm our Souls--and SALADS to Help us Keep our Goals!

Tarte au Crocodile

Viande de crocodile dans un croquet-monsieur,

quand on m'en prive, je deviens affreux.

Prends ma casquette et mon veston bleu,

Mais ne prends pas le croc dans mon croquet-monsieur!

Soup au reptile, soup au crocodile,

vivre sans cette soup, c'est trop difficile.

Allons au Bresil, ou patrons sur le Nil

chercher cette savoureuse soup au crocodile!

Traslation: Alligator Soup (exerpt)

Alligator stew, alligator stew,

If I don't get some I don't know what I'll do.

Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe,

But don't give away my alligator stew.

Alligator soup, alligator soup,

If I don't get some I think I'm gonna droop.

Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop,

But don't give away my alligator soup.

~Canadian Poet, Dennis Lee
