Points Of Difference Poem by Douglas Scotney
Points Of Difference
The French don't say they made a meal of somebody,
they say somebody wasn't a mouthful.
Instead of French for 'I'm sweating like a pig',
they say, Je n'ai pas un poil de sec
('There's not a dry hair on my body.')
'Sweating blood' comes on too thick for the French.
They add water,
and go,
Je sue sang et eau.
Finest articulated and excellently explained, marvelous poem! Thank you so much for sharing!
