La fourmi [English translation]

THE ANT

Ant, an eighteen-metre ant,

Hat on head insouciant,

Cannot happen on this planet.

Ant that hauls a pair of trucks

Crammed with penguins and with ducks,

Cannot happen on this planet.

Ant that spouts with fluent ease

Latin, French and Javanese,

Cannot happen on this planet.

Or can it?
