Hundred and Twelve


The Tuileries sont magnifique Pips. It was a terrific idea of yours to come to Paris it really was. Spring is in the air, the leaves are coming out and I am thrilled to be here I REALLY AM because I can practice my French and/
'OK George do you want to play with your new ball?'
My birthday ball? MY NEW BOUNCY BIRTHDAY BALL? Can I?
'OK then. Just be careful of the pond. I don't want to have to take you back to the hotel all wet'.
I think the Parisians will appreciate how fast/ wa-hey! Watch me go Pips, watch me go!
'Go and fetch it George'.
I'm fetching Pips, I'm fetching! See how fast I go? Can you see how fast I'm go.. oh!
'Go on. Catch it George!'
Um... wait a minute... I've just.. hello?
'C'est votre ballon?'
Excuse...? Ah oui, yes, it is. And you're a very lovely girl if you don't mind my saying. Tres jolie. What's your name?
'Mathilde'.
Mathilde? Well I'm George.
'Georges? Enchante'.
Well yes I am enchante too, I'm sure.
'Suivez moi Georges'.
What? Oh I see. Follow you. Well yes that's a good idea. Let's go behind the hedge....'
'George! No come back!'
'C'est votre proprietaire qui vous appelle?'
Mon prop...?/ ah oui, yes but ignore her. Think no more of her Mathilde. I'm very glad we have met. I am very taken by your style, you have a certain je ne sais quoi and I can see une joie de vivre aussi so would you mind very much if we had a little fun?
'Tu veux s'amuser?'
Amuser? Yes, oui oui oui oui OUI!'
'Est ce que tu m'aimes Georges?'
Oui oui bien sur je t'aime Mathilde, je t'aime je t'aime/
'C'est vrai?.. Moi non plus!'
Oh Mathilde you are naughty. May I?
'Ah mon amour....... Tu es la vague...'
Oui oui Mathilde! Et je vais et je viens entre/
'GEORGE NO!'
Uh-oh.
'GET OFF THAT POOR LITTLE POODLE RIGHT NOW!'


'That is the last time I'm taking you anywhere George'.
I was having a french moment that is all Pips and getting into the spirit of Paris in the springtime. And her name is Mathilde/
'You're staying at home next time I decide to go abroad'.
I simply felt inspired by the great Serge Gainsbourg who enjoyed lovely girls and having fun unlike you who can't appreciate l'amour/
'It's embarrassing George'.
Not as embarrassing as being unable to enjoy yourself/
'Behaving like a randy/
Because you have a problem Pips, yes you do. And there is no need to hold me so tight by the way. I can hardly respirer.
