Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Pasquin (English)
Pasquin
'Madness: that's the state I was in
when I bought this book for thirty francs.
Bookseller, give me my money back:
unlike me, it's got all its wits.'
Ulrich von Hutten
Grammont says he's a poet, a poet is what Grammont says he is;
The proof is that he can rhyme moon, June, spoon and buffoon!
The pompous twit, he's so full of himself, he's even giving lessons
on verse writing and penmanship in top literary salons!
How can he still stand when he has to carry around all those awards he's won?
You can hear his annoying voice right across medialand: I'm such a GENIUS!
