"Une poule sur un mur... Explanation: ... qui picote du pain dur, picoti picota, leve la queue et puis s'en va!" Rien a voir avec les chiffres ou l'heure mais pourrait reprendre "hickory, dickory..." par "picoti". Good luck, this one is tricky. French native |

See below Explanation: 1. I don't know the French equivalant 2. I note that your translation is classified as "literary", and wonder if you are involved in a "who-dunnit" detective-type story. If this is so, you might get clues from google.com where there are references to this nursery rhyme, with UK and USA versions. 3. Also at google.com, there is a reference to Agatha Christie's book, which might give you the same type of clues Hope this helps Reference: http://google.com |
