Morning Breakfast (Déjeuner du matin) by Jacques Prévert
(Original text here: http://www.ph-ludwigsburg.de/html/2b-frnz-s-01/overmann/baf4/prevert/dejeuner.htm)
He put the coffee
In the cup
He put the milk
In the cup of coffee
He put the sugar
In the white coffee
With the spoon
He stirred
He drunk the coffee
And he put down the cup
Without talking to me
He lit
A cigarette
He made rings
With the smoke
He put the ashes
In the ashtray
Without talking to me
Without looking at me
He stood up
He put
His hat on his head
He put on his raincoat
Because it was raining
And he left
In the rain
Without a word
Without looking at me
As for me, I took
My head in my hands
And I cried
It is good to live in a world where people use this to teach people the French past tense.
