Coffee, Eggs, Mustard And A Bustard

Rating: 3.5


A coffee bean is un grain de café;
ground coffee is café moulu.

A black coffee is un café noir;
'Bonjour, un café, ' will do.

A cappuccino is un café crème;
a coffee with milk is... au lait.

Un oeuf dur is a hard-boiled egg;
un oeuf à la coque is a soft -
perhaps, un oeuf mollet is too.

Fried eggs are oeufs au plat.

Scrambled eggs are oeufs brouillés.
Full as a goog is plein comme un oeuf;

crème anglaise is custard.
Une outarde is a bustard.

La moutarde is mustard.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This fails to be poetry. You just translate from English to French, and it reads like much nonsense. No much of poetic expression in this, but just silly humor.
