The Rou\u00e9\u2019s Politics<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musical accompaniment: Haydn string quartet in B – flat op. 1 no. 1 movement 5.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDe toutes les folies, il n\u2019y en a pas de plus grand que de vouloir rendre le monde meilleur.\u201d \u2014Moli\u00e8re. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only\u00a0diff\u2019rence\u00a0that I see between regimes
affecting me is,\u00a0government\u2019s\u00a0always declared \u2014 not
that I ever really cared.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a King, his\u00a0name\u2019s\u00a0forgot \u2014 the Queen
supposedly was hot; but my opinion\u2019s pretty slim \u2014 so
either way, let\u2019s think of\u00a0quim.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was rebellion in the South but there was also
nether mouth; it\u2019s fine by me\u00a0whoe\u2019er\u00a0prevail \u2014 just
lead me to that mossy vail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Robespierre was a big deal \u2014 whatever, give
me\u00a0paps\u00a0to feel; they fought in all the cities, true \u2014
but there were lovelies\u2019 titties, too.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Revolution came and went, so yay \u2014 I\u2019d rather girls in
lingerie; these governments all come and go \u2014 it\u2019s damsels
I most fancied, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I heard about the\u00a0guillotine\u00a0but I prefer something
obscene; one day\u00a0Napol\u2019on, next a King \u2014 just
lead me to that shady spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These gents are at each other\u2019s throats as if I care how
either votes; opinions, yes, I\u2019ll give \u2018em\u00a0that \u2014 but how
\u2018bout\u00a0l\u00e8che-moi\u00a0la\u00a0chatte\u00a0<\/em>?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One side wears red, one side wears blue, but they\u2019re all
pink, pull out their\u00a0queue<\/em>; one side is good, one side is bad
\u2014 and who knows which as pleasure\u2019s had.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, monarchists pontificate but I\u2019d rather
ejaculate; true, Jacobins the state inveigh but I
prefer to\u00a0forniquer.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear of\u00a0left,\u00a0I hear of right \u2014 orgasms don\u2019t have
much insight; the low countries I\u2019d rather dwell\u00a0\u2014<\/strong>
their politics can go to hell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Bourbons\u00a0<\/em>or the\u00a0Bonapartes<\/em>\u00a0\u2014
they\u2019re all the same, just smell their farts; these
governments all come and go \u2014 it\u2019s damsels I most
fancied, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
