Frenchly

by carolynholm

Cher Madame,

Mia again she hurls les insults at moi.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Oh dear. Now what?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

She says I’ve been insufferably Frenchly.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I don’t think Frenchly is really a word.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Vraiment, right? Make her stop.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

She has a point.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

I must insist, je suis français.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Then how did you get to Los Angeles?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Madame always brings up Los Angeles.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Because you were found there as a teeny tiny kitten.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Peut-être je suis an immigrant. From France.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I don’t think so, honey. You were a tiny little guy. Wandering around in a rather rough neighborhood. In the gutter.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Toujours Madame brings up le gutter.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

And diarrhea. You had parasites. You are so lucky you were rescued.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

It is unfortunate that Madame she dwells on les details sordid.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

It is what it is, sweetie. We love you anyway.

Love, Carolyn
