Luis d'Antin van Rooten (1906-1973) No.7: "Jacques s'apprête"

d'Antin's verse: Jacques s'apprête Coulis de nos fête.1 Et soif que dites nos lignes.2 Et ne sauve bédouine tempo3 y aussi, Telle y que de plat terre, cligne.4

"strangely familiar" homophone:

L. d'A. van Rooten's illuminating notes: 1.  Coulis, a sort of strained broth. Jacques was either a sauce chef or an invalid. 2.  Jacques was also an alcoholic, since his thirst is beyond description. 3.  He was fond of Arab music. 4.  He believed the earth was flat. The last word of the line, meaning "wink," is obviously a stage direction. Poor Jacques, whoever he was, was obviously considered a fool.
