Je peux bien remercier Dieu
d’avoir connu Ursula Andress
de faire partie d’une génération
qui fut victime de ses charmes.

Elle était si belle et sexy
que si elle avait été une science
plus personne n’aurait appris
les maths ou la philosophie.

Elle était si belle et sexy
qu’en la regardant dans les yeux
je fus mieux inspiré
que par l’art poétique de Boileau.

Je peux bien remercier Dieu
d’avoir connu Ursula Andress,
Je peux bien remercier Ursula Andress
de me faire penser à dieu.

I can indeed thank God
for having known Ursula Andress
for being a part of a generation
which was a victim of her charms.

She was so beautiful and sexy
that if she had been a science
Nobody would have studied
Mathematics or Philosophy any more.

She was so beautiful and sexy
that by looking at her in eyes
I was better inspired
than by the poetry of Whitman.

I can indeed thank God
for having known Ursula Andress
I can also thank Ursula Andress
for making me think of God.

   I had fun to write this poem after seeing a movie in which she played, it recalled sweet memories.

   Wow! I still love Ursula; she’s still a 10 in my estimation! But the Whitman factor? Well. I’ll have to think about that!

   Have a great day—

   Hello Art, I just Used Whitman to respond to the french version with the art poetic, I think that in so many ways women are artful and more, inspiring than a book of poetry….

   thank you for your comment.

   I know, yann, I was just trying to inject a little humor about Whitman. The day that a book of poetry becomes more inspiring than a stunningly beautiful woman, the world will be in a lot of trouble!

   I think that if we check back we’ll find that many of the early poets — who didn’t have books of poems to inspire them — were inspired by beautiful women — try Sidney and Drayton, Wyatt and Spencer. I don’t know if Dante’s Beatrice was as beautiful as Ursala — but she seemed to inspire work beyond the mathematics and philosophy of that day. Thanks for the poem. Jerry
