Limerick: Once Cute Pute In Gay Paris Called Miel

Limerick: Once Cute Pute in Gay Paris called Miel Once Cute Pute* in Gay Paris called Miel* Plied her trade around a Ferris Wheel Rode them roller coaster Spun them on wheel later Got lush cut on fines for police squeal!* • Pute: stands for “prostitute” in French • Miel: for “honey” in French • A new French Bill, dated December 7, 2011, proposes the fining of prostitutes’ clients. French law, by and large, tolerates the profession, even if overt solicitation, procuring, and prostitution of minors IS NOT. According to French law, sexual maturity is recognised at 15, but for prostitutes 18 is the legitimate age. Prison sentences range from 2 to 7 for related offences, and fines can run up to €100,000. © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2013
