‘The
French
Don’t
Eat
With
Their
Hands’,
I was
Loftily
Told.
I thought
This
Statement
Bold,
But
It puts
A face
On an
Entire
Race,
Folks
So
Precise
And
Extra
Nice,
Whose
Language
Is a
Complex
Device.
I’m a
Hopeless
Anglo
Phone,
And
Leave
The
Parlez
Vous
Alone.
In my
Defense,
I’d
Like to
Please,
But get
No closer
To the
French
Than
Cheese.
Which
I hope
Every
One
Under
Stands,
I eat
With
My
Hands.
