Ait perdu l'esprit"... - Impôt sur le revenu, on the proposed income tax; dedicated to Hugues Delorme (19 sizains): "Alors, quoi, mon Delorme?
Ce Peytral piriforme
Que voilà revenu,
Rêve - s'il faut l'en croire
D'un impôt vexatoire"... - Cochons de bois, on the Neuilly fair and its merry-go-round of wooden pigs (19 quatrains), suggesting replacing the pig with "the guitar without a neck
On which women make dada"... - Éloquence militaire (23 quatrains); published November 20, 1899. In it, Ponchon has General de Gallifet, Minister of War, justify the measures taken against several officers, such as General Négrier, and his role during the Commune: "Oui, messieurs, tout ce que j'ai fait
I thought I had to do"...
