Le monstre
by Patryck Froissart
Ô fétides ténias, ascarides grouillants,
Helminthes répugnants, horribles schistosomes,
Ô hyènes ricanant, lycanthropes fantômes,
Lycaons glapissant, chacals au train fuyant,
Ô scorpions embusqués, acariens insidieux,
Mygales camouflées, sournoises scolopendres,
Ô guivres des marais, vireuses salamandres,
Mambas vifs et vicieux, basilics pernicieux,
Ô féroces requins, silures carnassiers,
Sphyrènes affamées, murènes dévoreuses,
Ô voraces sangsues, taons, punaises suceuses,
Puces avides, poux, rostres irrassasiés,
Ô stryges et lamies, hydres des profondeurs,
Faunes des bois, griffons, léviathans et vampires,
Au grand tableau d’horreur, vous n’êtes point les pires :
L’homme accumule en somme toutes vos laideurs.
