Talking potato varieties or flirting with me?

It is a pun.

The pom in pompiers and the pom in pomme-de-terre.

I though it rather good that it linked to the potato in the oven chips as well.

How flattering StarDreamer but not my name

Excellent, CaravanSerai!

A pompier in sexy garb
Was called to quell
A chip fire

He noted that
The shipboard fare
Looked not unlike a quagmire

Where’s Joseanne?
She disembarked
To dine with Fred and Gino

You need her back
To cook up something
Laced with maraschino

I jumped ship too
And sculled downstream
To Bert Fry’s summer school

Where words are tortured
Into rhymes
With no iambic rule

Indeed no rules of any kind
The mood is free and light

We amble on as travellers do
With not a link in sight.

We are now moored at the quai in Tournon.

Lunch will be served at 1 pm.

I sort of took pompiers, then produced

pomme-de-terre-iers

I know it is silly.

Just harmless humour.

Song lyrics do not need to make sense either.

Does not make sense. Oh for heavens sake.

Potatoes of the dogs, no, that does make sense. Ignore me…

Ever the canine-centric, I rather hoped that pomme de terre-iers was a reference to potato snuffling hounds; a bit like truffle hunting pigs… ? ?

The trouble StarDreamer is, that if you have to explain a “joke” it’s a pretty sure indication that it has missed the mark - and isn’t actually funny.
Never mind, better luck next time.
Maybe try the one about Toulon? (Hope it won’t be Toulon before we get there) ?
You’re welcome ?

Trust your instincts Lucca!
They are pretty bad ! ?

Are oven chips even made from potatoes? I thought they were reconstituted cardboard

Actually maybe they’re not that bad. I’m just grumpy as the Airbnb website has crashed

Ou pomme-de-terre-iers?

What?

It is a pun on pompiers using pomme-de-terre, which is French for potato, and oven chips are made from potato.

Humour.

It’s nothing like a pun, sorry.
And I should think it’s obvious that I know what pommes-de terre are.
The connection with that abomination oven chips tenuous even.

Humour?
Hardly

I am actually in Tournon today on a river cruise from Lyon to Avignon. It is a beautiful day and I am looking at the vineyards on the hill. There is a bbq lunch on board, in a while, so I will meet you all on the top deck and then we can go to the wine tasting after lunch.

The tug has arrived and we are now on our way, slowly, to Tournon.

I have diagnosed the problem it’s a blockage in the heads due to the ratatouille and oven chips.

Fear not- les pompiers are on their way
