Answers for everything

For the big winter fires
Kindling and a good draught
I know a few things
If you want us team up
Let’s say that at Trivial Pursuit
I’m not too far from being good
 
In the line of my little finger
I can sometimes show you
At least the Great Bear
I have my little stock of proverbs
Tomorrow we’ll picnic on the grass
If the moon is red
 
Pardon me in advance
The rains at the end of the big holidays
Come without warning
No, it’s not an oversight
There’s nothing against the melancholy
I know what you’re going to tell me
 
I don’t have answers for everything
You weren’t born in the cabbages
There were no storks
There are sorrows that strike
Fathers that fail
There are mysteries everywhere
 
For the great autumn tides
I know what the sea abandons
On the wet ground
Out of ten I’d give myself eight
Assembling flat pack furniture
I can get by
 
I know some dubious stories
Why the fish in the bowl
Is belly up
I know some hazy stories
Lost soft toy will be happier
Living with the polar bears
 
But in advance, you must pardon me
I cannot silence the ringing bells
September is going to return
No, it’s not an oversight
There’s no cure for melancholy
I know what you are going to tell me
 
I don’t have answers for everything
You weren’t born in the cabbages
There were no storks
There are sorrows that hurt
Fathers that fail
There are mysteries everywhere

Is the red moon an equivalent to the English "Red sky at night - shepherd's delight" ( A red sunset = good weather the next day)
..or as you say some deliberate mix-up to show his well meaning fallibility.

Rien contre - yes that's really obvious now I reread it. I am getting better...

Thanks :-)

La lune rousse in French proverbs ia a sign of misfortune

La lune rousse a toujours marqué les esprits des jardiniers et agriculteurs qui craignent pour leurs semis et plantations, d'où de nombreux dictons ou proverbes relatifs à cette période4 :

« Tant que dure la lune rousse, les fruits sont sujets à fortune »
« Quand la lune rousse est passée, on ne craint plus la gelée » (dicton de Charente)
« Récolte n'est arrivée, que la lune rousse soit passée » (dicton de Haute-Loire)
« En lune rousse, rien ne pousse »
« La lune rousse donne tout ou bien elle ôte tout » (dicton du Jura)

Ah so a harbinger of bad weather/fortune/things in general.

That makes sense with him getting things a bit wrong then. :-)

Thanks!
