Autoplay

Cher Monpti,

Four names of girls in England
are April, May, June and Blanche.
The latter is used as a name,
but the months rarely are,
a travers la Manche.

All the months
are masculine in France.
'Elle porte le pantalon'
is 'She wears the pants'.

Ta Crevette.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Monpti (Monptee) = Mon petit = my little one (male)
a travers la Manche = across the Channel
Crevette = shrimp
the 'a' before 'travers' should have a grave accent mark above it.
