... somebody tell a joke..

Read these outloud... no, you don't have to speak french.

Pas de caique, pas de caique, becasse, mane,

Roulette et n'epate eden marcou y debit
Aine petit inedit, oh, vaine, fort bebe ennemi.

Un petit d'un petit
S'etonne aux Halles
Un petit d'un petit
Ah degres tefallent
Indolent qui ne sort cesse
Indolent qui ne se mene
Qu'importe un petit d'un petit
Tout Gai de Requennes.

Those are two familiar poems... the first...
"Patti cake, patti cake.... "

... the second...
"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall... "
