Odile...
Odile rêve au bord de l’Île,
Lorsqu’un crocodile surgit ;
Odile a peur du crocodile
Et, lui évitant un « ci-gît »,
Le crocodile croqua Odile.
Caï raconte ce roman,
Mais sans doute Caï l’invente.
Odile alors serait vivante,
Et, dans ce cas-là, Caï ment.
Un autre ami d’Odile, Alligue
Pour faire croire à cette mort,
Se démène, paye et intrigue,
D’aucuns disent qu’Alligue a tort.
de Jean COCTEAU
