French plurals with an X..

The following verse tells us which French nouns require an x rather than s, when they are used in the plural..
Bijou, caillou, chou,
Genou, hibou, joujou...
Pou!
It sounds pretty cute..
The English translation is :
Jewel, pebble, cabbage,
Knee, owl, toy....
Flea!

or you can just memorise this rhyme..

Mes choux, mes bijoux,
Lassez vous joujoux,
Venez sur mes genoux!
Regardez ces mauvais petits garcons,
Qui jettent des cailloux a ces pauvres hiboux!
