Modern problem #9

I lost all my lives on Duolingo,

Conjugating the French verbs wrong.

It’s not that I don’t get the rules, but

Why would I make that cruel past tense

With ‘to love’ or ‘to know’ or ‘to be’

When I’m barely through with the present?

And besides, I kind of like this little world—

Bound by the few adjectives I know—

Where everything and everyone is,

By necessity, amusant or plus gentil or

Très, très bien.
