La Seine submits to the Thames and scorns the Volga.
La Seine cock -a yankee-doodle-do- to attract Mississipi.
La Seine fears the yellow river peril and is at attention
facing the guard along the Rhine.
La Seine has not a tear for the Jordan
its cancan jealous of the elegant Danube
and lost in the millennia of the Ganges ...
Little hoodlum, your head dancing on a pick,
la Seine turning reddish ,
fifes and drums along your banks ,
la Seine sailing greyish !
Under the Mirabeau bridge flows a stream
ending up in the little story gutters .
Brussels the humble, Paris the great
mocking your crumbs and waffles ...
Our little canal called ''La Seine ''
carries dead rats and epidemics
in the arms of an unmarried mother
who thinks to be a sea...

To use another baseball analogy, you knocked this out of the park. I could write 5-page essay on the brilliance of this work of yours, but then I would get nothing done today. Suffice it to say, sheer genius.
Humbly your like a little Belgian !
