French Composition By Jacques Prévert Poem by Eugene Levich

Napoleon was very thin when young
and officer of artillery
later when he became emperor
he put on a belly and took many countries
and on the day he died he still
had a belly
but he had become smaller.

Composition Française

Tout jeune Napoléon était très maigre
et officier d'artillerie
plus tard il devint empereur
alors il prit du ventre et beaucoup de pays
et le jour où il mourut il avait encore
du ventre
mais il était devenue plus petit.
