April Fools
Un poisson d’avril
Has come to tell me
Est venu me raconter
That he had been
Qu’on lui avait pris
Its pretty jump rope
Sa jolie corde à sauter
It was a horse
C’était un cheval
Who was winning over his heart
Qui l’emportait sur son coeur
Along the canal
Le long du canal
Where the tugs were waltzing
Où valsaient les remorqueurs
And then a snake
Et alors un serpent
Appointed as alternate
S’est offert comme remplaçant
The very happy fish
Le poisson très content
Left across the fields
Est parti à travers champs
It jumps so high
Il saute si haut
That he flew into the air
Qu’il s’est envolé dans l’air
It jumps so high
Il saute si haut
That he fell back into the water.
Qu’il est retombé dans l’eau.
By Boris Vian

An unusual bio has the author, Maverick; his life certainly full of ups and downs.
The fish, on the other hand, is simply and clearly beautiful.. A great shot! 🙂

If the fish had been purple it might have been better but I’m glad you liked it. 🙂

The fish did not need to be purple – it’s perfect as it is 🙂
