  • Le chat (un poème spécial pour la fête d’Halloween)

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I slumbered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, sweetly dreaming, suddenly I was blaspheming, As of some one loudly screaming, screaming at my chamber door — “’Tis some little sod,” I muttered, “screaming at my chamber door — Only this…

  • Le portrait officiel du Roi

I got chatting yesterday afternoon to Bert the dog’s mamma, as we were putting out the recycling at The Front. Now, Louis Catorze’s interactions…
