As I was dining a la carte
Awaiting my entree,
A mademoiselle with joie de vivre
Showed her decollete.
"Cherie, I cried, "it's deja vu!
I've seen those breasts before.
Do you recall our rendezvous
When we struck up rapport?"
"That pas de deux's a faux pas past,"
She said with some ennui.
"A quick grope down the cul de sac,
A fast fait accompli."
"But now I'm nouveau riche," I quipped,
"A famous raconteur.
I'm avant-garde, a bon vivant,
I 'ave my own chauffeur.
My concierge's uniform's
The height of haute couture.
When I get pissed upon the piste
It's champagne, that's for sure.
For breakfast I have crepes suzettes,
For dinner creme brulee.
Will you attend my small soiree,
Repondez s'il vous plait.
Your skin is sweet cafe au lait,
And, oh, your derriere!
Cherchez la femme's my raison d'etre
There's no more laissez faire."
Money speaks - a cliche, but
It proved the coup de grace,
For as we smooched en route to home
She offered no impasse.
And now denouement to my tale,
At my place (or Chez Moi)
Where my fiancee waited
For risque menage a trois!

Author Notes
I know The Blue Pixel has just posted her lovely quatern which is based on the same idea of French words in English, but we did not plan this - it is sheer coincidence!
I must apologise to speakers of both French and English for torturing their languages. Francophiles I know will shudder at some of my rhymes (although to most English ears they should be close in sound). I have also twisted the meaning of some of these expressions to suit my story.
I am not going to explain any of these terms - they are all English after all, as you can prove by referring to any good dictionary!
FanStory does not seem to permit the usage of accents which would have helped with recognition and pronunciation...
Bon appetit!
