Illustrations here are placed in the order they would have appeared in the book.- Je n’aime pas à voir deux sœurs l’une sur l’autre, L’une étendue, ouvrant ses deux cuisses en l’air, Et l’autre qui s’y plonge et s’y frotte et s’y vautre, Corps à corps, ventre à ventre et leurs cons chair à chair.
- Je n’aime pas à voir la douce concubine Qu’on encule toujours et qui, d’un doigt lascif Se branle le bouton, se tire la barbiche, Pour soulager son cul douloureux et passif
- Je n’aime pas à voir cette Sappho mascule Qui, dans sa chambre, habille une fille en garçon, Lui baisse la culotte et froidement l’encule Avec un godmiché plus gros qu’un saucisson.
- Je n’aime pas à voir la vierge au doigt lubrique Qui, les deux pieds en l’air, masturbe sur le lit Son pucelage en rut, gonflé, couleur de brique, Et décharge en baisant le roman qu’elle lit.
- Je n’aime pas à voir le garçon sur la fille Donner des coups au cul et danser le galop Aux applaudissements de toute la famille Qui dit : « Ça vient, putain ! Fais-la jouir, salop ! »
- Je n’aime pas à voir la princesse de Grèce, Qui, menée au bordel par sa fille d’honneur, Frotte sa bouche obscène au cul de la négresse Et crie en déchargeant : « C’est là qu’est le bonheur ! »
- Je n’aime pas à voir dans un bal de familles Que l’hôtesse dispose une chambre d’ami Et des lits de repos, au gré des jeunes filles, Pour sucer leurs danseurs ou se faire mimi.
