Le Petit Coq

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Mon âme veuve les jalouse
La poulette et le petit coq.
— En plein soleil, près d’un vieux soc,
Tous deux vont picotant la bouse,

En vain je vis avec la blouse,
Avec le chêne, avec le roc :
Mon âme veuve les jalouse
La poulette et le petit coq.

Chemin faisant, sur la pelouse.
Que de fois, avec l’air ad hoc,
Le petit mari — toc toc toc
Caresse la petite épouse !
Mon âme veuve les jalouse.
