The lady on the TV show:
“Most women wear the wrong size bra;
seduced by package photographs,
don’t know how big they really are.
It’s vital,” as I heard her say,
“they wear well-fitting lonjer-RAY.”


The commentator at the show:
“This horse has beautiful extension,
fine gaits, and lateral suppleness,
and quite superlative suspension.”
She told the listeners at large,
“This work is called in French, druss-ARge.”

The Irishman from Radio 2
spoke Blarney and some French as well;
he broadcast once from Canada,
but driving back to his hotel
the taxi driver corked his yarns:
“Your hotel’s called the RENN-er-sarns.”

Dear France, I must apologise;
I’ll train my horse to move with care
and scorning all pretence, I’ll say
my lingerie is underwear.
Renaissance, on MY patch of earth,
will just be Cultural Re-birth.
