      From: mdhangton@gmail.com              Please look at the way I've punctuated this.               I wasn't allowed to speak English to them, so I said       the weather poem Odette taught me,        "Rouge le soir,        bel espoir,        Rouge le matin,        de la pluie en chemin."        They only knew a few words of Broken French, so they       changed it into        "Rouj bonswa,        boule orevwa,        Rouj mwen,        fini anyen,"       and sang it like a song.                     Yeah, I know I'm torturing the reader with French and Haitian Kreyol.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
