La Marchande d'écrevisses
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Aux portes des cafés où s’attablent les vices,
Elle va tous les soirs offrant des écrevisses
Sur un petit clayon tapissé de persil.
Elle a l’œil en amande orné d’un grand sourcil
Et des cheveux frisés blonds comme de la paille.
Or, ses lèvres en fleur qu’un sourire entre-bâille,
Tentent les carabins qui fument sur les bancs,
Et comme elle a des seins droits, et que, peu tombants
Ses jupons laissent voir sa jambe ronde et saine,
Chacun d’eux lui chuchote un compliment obscène.
