Quirky Quercus


"Bloated Moron"

Moaned Mogette on a hot July morning of Deux-Mille-Dix-Huit.

" Oh dear, ma chère"
Replied her propriétaire.
"It is unusual for you
To use such names"

And then he asked
"Have you been reading the BBC website again?"

Mogette ne dit rien
Pendant tout un moment

And then she said

"Oh yes, I have, dear Proprio
And do you know
That this morning  I am quite
Inquiète
About the state of our planète"

Her owner tried to reassure
His friend La Deux-Chevaux
Who seemed to know
So much about the fu-ture...

Mogette continua...

"A man wrote to La BBC today
That someone he called Caligula - I kid you not-
Thinks climate change is a Chinese plot
To disadvantage the United States in... trade...

And that this Trumpy chap has made
Many déclarations
By Twitter mega-phone
That he is Mister Number One

"Me, Me, Me
 A Stable Genius
Greater then Einstein"
To be... précis...

Click on Mogette and Quercus Robur for animated film of Giono's timeless tale...
And Mogette shed a tear
From her one remaining headlight...

Then Proprio said
"Do not fear, my dear...

Look around at the little oaks
From this season's bumper crop
Of acorns from Quercus Robur...
And just remem-ber

That moron tyrants come and go
But there are also those who sow...

Now click on the pic below,

...Which shows oak trees young and old
And be inspired by the story of Jean Giono:

The Man Who Planted Trees

A quirky Quercus remedy
To to Trumpo-logic Comédie"
