Flimsy Poem by Douglas Scotney
Flimsy
'Short mince' is French for 'flimsy shorts',
what I wear around the house in summer.
'Where are my shorts? '
is 'Où est mon short? '
'Low fat' is 'minceur' in France.
'Un minceur' is probably 'a skinny guy'.
'Mince' is 'thin, slender, slight,
insignificant, and of no import'.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
30.1.21. 'mince' is said to rhyme with how the Americans (and Queenslanders) say 'France'. Of course the picture is not me.
