Un petit d'un petit - Luis d'Antin van Rooten

Un petit d'un petit
S'étonne aux Halles
Un petit d'un petit
Ah! degrés te fallent
Indolent qui ne sort cesse
Indolent qui ne se mène
Qu'importe un petit d'un petit
Tout Gai de Reguennes.
Luis d'Antin van Rooten (1906 - 1973) USA
If the above poem doesn't seem to make any sense
try to work out what the phonetic English poem is...

    The giveaway is the footnote to the first line: “The inevitable consequence of a child marriage.”
