Baudelaire, a une passante:

  La rue assourdissante autour de moi hurlait.
  Longue, mince, en grand deuil, douleur majestueuse,
  Une femme passa, d'une main fastueuse
  Soulevant, balançant le feston et l'ourlet ;

  Agile et noble, avec sa jambe de statue.
  Moi, je buvais, crispé comme un extravagant,
  Dans son oeil, ciel livide où germe l'ouragan,
  La douceur qui fascine et le plaisir qui tue.

  Un éclair... puis la nuit ! - Fugitive beauté
  Dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaître,
  Ne te verrai-je plus que dans l'éternité ?

  Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici ! trop tard ! jamais peut-être !
  Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais,
  Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais !



Hovis Presley is my favourite:

I rely on you

I rely on you like a Skoda needs suspension like the aged need a pension like a trampoline needs tension like a bungee jump needs apprehension I rely on you like a camera needs a shutter like a gambler needs a flutter like a golfer needs a putter like a buttered scone involves some butter I rely on you like an acrobat needs ice cool nerve like a hairpin needs a drastic curve like an HGV needs endless derv like an outside left needs a body swerve I rely on you like a handyman needs pliers like an auctioneer needs buyers like a laundromat needs driers like The Good Life needed Richard Briers I rely on you like a water vole needs water like a brick outhouse needs mortar like a lemming to the slaughter Ryan's just Ryan without his daughter I rely on you
