There is something amiss chez Pentagoet

 (We assume of course you do not know it).

 Allow us to present our humble thesis:

 You need to move your diaeresis.

For as every Frenchman would surely know,

Those dots don't sit correctly over the "o" -

(We would hate for some poor kraut

To read them thus as an umlaut.)

No, the diaeresis should be over the "e,"

Just like Noel in gay Paree;

But don't change to appease us

Your exceedingly erroneous diaeresis.

Rather, say, "It simply does not please us

 to display linguistic feces."
