Idiom Poem by Pierre Rausch

Exactly
Could you refuse nothing
Couldn't you be nice
Could you pay on the spot
Apron pocket
Herself into a ball

Exactly
Her poor half limbs
I will not do so any more
'Pay! ' said the traveller, in an academic voice
Couldn't you be nice
Distracted, instead of working
Exactly thirty-hundred franc
Exactly herself into a ball

'But it's true! '
And hastened up
The carter was touched prior,
Like herself

Librarians held a meeting
That he'd change his glasses
Is sovereign manner
Diligent to harsh privacy
Millionaires in academic manner

A chapel friend
The bottom was unfathomable
Between the paving-stones
Amidst stockings
Playing hide-and-seek
Who has made their escape
Playing,
like herself
