La Ruse Anglais

En G-Bretagne
et les pays
où ils parlent anglais
le chauvin-français
voit ‘sale',
voit malhonnêteté
voit saleté
voit duperie
voit escoquerie
(sees dishonesty, filth and poo) .
Il va chez à côté,

dépense il
plein plus.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
the English trick of having 'sale', which means 'filthy' etc in French, mean 'bargain' and thus get those of the French who are chauvinists thinking what's on sale is filthy etc and going next door and spending more.
