EH MEC!
Ton regard oblique
En rien n'est lubrique
Ta maman t'a trop fessé
Ton goût du revers
N'a rien de pervers
Et ton bébé n'est pas fâché
Ton Kamasutra
A bien cent ans d'âge
Mon Dieu que c'est démodé
Le nec plus ultra
En ce paysage
C'est d'aimer les deux côtés

Ta majesté
Jamais ne te déplaces!
Sans ton petit oreiller
A jamais je suis
Ton unique classe
Tout n'est que prix à payer

Tu fais des Ah! des Oh!
Derrière ton ouvrage
Quand mon petit pantalon
Debout et de dos
Sans perdre courage
Dénude tes obsessions

Tu t'entêtes à te foutre de tout
Mais pourvu qu'elles soient douces
D'un poète tu n'as que la lune en tête
De mes rondeurs tu es K.O.!
Tu t'entêtes à te foutre de tout
Mais pourvu qu'elles soient douces
D'un esthète tu n'as gardé qu'un "air bête"
Tout est beau si c'est "Vue de dos"!

0K!
Prose ou poésie
Tout n'est que prétexte
Pas la peine de t'excuser
Muse ou égérie
Mes petites fesses
Ne cessent de t'inspirer

Je fais des Ah! des Oh!
Jamais ne me lasse
Par amour pour un toqué
Ne faut-il pas que
Jeunesse se passe
A quoi bon se bousculer?

Tu t'entêtes à te foutre de tout
Mais pourvu qu'elles soient douces
D'un poète tu n'as que la lune en tête
De mes rondeurs tu es K.O.!
Tu t'entêtes à te foutre de tout
Mais pourvu qu'elles soient douces
D'un esthète tu n'as garde qu'un "air bête"
Tout est beau si c'est "Vue de dos"!
