SURPRISES

How tightly packed in we were on that bus platform !
And how stupid and ridiculous that young man looked !
And what was he doing ? Well, if he wasn't actually
trying to pick a quarrel with a chap who – so he claimed !
The young fop ! Kept on pushing him !
And then he didn't find anything better to do than
to rush off and grab a seat which had become free !
Instead of leaving it for a lady !

Two hours after, guess whom I met in front of the gare
Saint-Lazare ! The same fancy-pants !
Being given some sartorial advice ! By a friend !
You'd never believe it !
