YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL

 

One day you find a  thick envelope
With a letter inside, on parchment,
Telling you you've been elected a member
Of the Academy of Moral and Political Science.
Worse, the vote was unanimous. You protest
But there's no avoiding it. You must buy 
A monocle and a sash and learn at last
The proper use of the passé composé .
