Francoise Lan-go

This is one of the world’s rarest primates: Francoise Lan-go.
He sits upon the river bank sucking escargots
And when his pipe is full he’ll contented puff and blow
This is one of the world’s rarest primates: Francoise Lan-go.

And for a monkey he is fine and markedly informed
With a whitish band around his face sartorially adorned
But jet black is the rest of him and soft from tip to toe
This is one of the world’s rarest primates: Francoise Lan-go.

But for one tic his life would have been much longer safe preserved
For at poker this is a monkey not very rare reserved
He cannot help but cackle whenever it is his go
This is one of the world’s rarest primates: Francoise Lan-go

And so he lives his final days barred from every table
Doomed to sit by river banks till faded into fable
And it is a shame for it was a game he enjoyed so very so
One of the world’s rarest primates. No more, Francoise, no.
