Texting

[Jan Ivarsson TransEdit]

I've seen that version also, but it is not perfect: "6" is pronounced [sis] and Friedrich's chateau is Sans Souci.
The book already exists and is well worth reading:
"Mots d'heures: Gousses, Rames. The d'Antin Manuscript edited and annotated by Luis d'Antin van Rooten" Grossman Publishers, New York 1967.
An example:

Un petit d'un petit
S'étonne aux Halles
Un petit d'un petit
Ah! degrés te fallent
Indolent qui ne sort cesse
Indolent qui ne se mène
Qu'importe un petit d'un petit
Tout Gai de Reguennes.

If someone thinks that this sounds lika Humpty Dumpty, he is probably not absolutely mistaken.
