1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Where once trawlers followed seagulls
And poetry met philosophy
Eric Cantona
Quite suddenly
Avant garde bohemian
French chanteur
Overnight pop singer
It is beyond credibility
But this man is the epitome
Of street cred
Once enfant terrible
Now de rigeur
From non conformist
Rebel with a cause
United’s legendary face
Maverick with
Dashing arrogance
Goal scorer
Of exquisite beauty
Now plunged into
The recording studio
A pop singer you cry
No this is just
Some passing phase
But the truth is
Out there
A man with the indefinable
Je ne sais quoi
The belle epoque
Of any age
Now masquerading
As modern
Day Aznavour
A thickly hirsute
And beautifully bearded
Sacha Distel
Distinguished dulcet
Tones
Top of the charts
Taking us
All by complete
Surprise
But the gain
Of the mainstream
Pop music scene
Sacre bleu
Monsieur Cantona
Is there nothing
Beyond you?
Certainly not
A baguette for
The music man
And just a
Croissant or two

Notes

Eric Cantona- pop music superstar.
