The poem in question: can only be found here! Wowzers!<\/p>\n
As I was scanning through my notebook while doing the commentary<\/a> for A Dream<\/a> I found this little gem of a poem that I wrote one day in French class. It is not dated, but I am assuming I wrote it sometime during my junior year. I sat next to a girl named Sarah and we sometimes would come up with wacky rhyming French words to amuse ourselves. (She and some others would call me “Cliff” to amuse them<\/em>selves, and I did not see the humor until much later. Alas.) A few of the small phrases we came up with were “la p\u00eache se d\u00e9p\u00eache” (“the peach hurries”), “la semaine prochaine” (“next week”), and of course, “le thon est bon” (“tuna is good”).<\/p>\n And now, for your probably-not-reading-French pleasure, I present “Le Thon Est Bon.”<\/p>\n Le thon est bon And now, the loose translation:<\/p>\n Tuna is good I told you it was a gem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The poem in question: can only be found here!

\nEspecialement mon thon,
\nMais le tien aussi,
\nTon thon est si bon.
\nSon thon n’est pas bon,
\nMais mon thon est bon,
\nEt le tien aussi,
\nTon thon est tr\u00e8s bon.
\nSi le thon n’\u00e9tait pas bon,
\n\u00c7a ne serait pas bon,
\nMais ne t’inqui\u00e8te pas;
\nLe thon est bon.
\nD\u00e9cid\u00e9ment, le thon est bon,
\nMais mon thon et ton thon
\nSont meilleur
\nQue son thon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nEspecially my tuna,
\nBut yours also,
\nYour tuna is so good.
\nHis tuna is not good,
\nBut my tuna is good,
\nAnd yours too,
\nYour tuna is very good.
\nIf tuna was not good,
\nThat would not be good,
\nBut don’t worry;
\nTuna is good.
\nDecidedly, tuna is good,
\nBut my tuna and your tuna
\nAre better
\nThan his tuna.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
