And fed him upon vitamins and vegetable bread.
I made him my companion on many cheery walks,
And had his portrait done by a celebrity in chalks.

Ve two! Ach! don'd you understandt?
Meinself - und Gott.

Je Te Donne Ces Vers Afin Que Si Mon Nom (I Give You These Verses So That If My Name)

Je te donne ces vers afin que si mon nom
Aborde heureusement aux époques lointaines,
Et fait rêver un soir les cervelles humaines,
Vaisseau favorisé par un grand aquilon,
