I came across a grocer
Who used to be a teacher
He said "The thing is this my friend
I prefer the fruits of Eden"
He sold me an apple
But the apple had a worm
Then I bought some cheap red wine
'Cos things weren't right
Then the moon replaced the sun
And when all was said and done
It's significance escaped me
Hitched down to Le Havre
Saw the house of Jean-Paul Sartre
Bought a paperback I didn't understand
Don't you know there's less to life than this?
And then it rained.
I sat in a cafe where Hemmingway drank coffee
And the Pernod and the Gitanes made me think for a while
Of canvass and colours and Poetry and prose
And I wrote in my diary "nothing happened today"
Said a tender goodbye to the house of Jean-Paul
I gave the book to a wino who said this to me
"Philosophy's for fools with too much time to spare
It's too hot to argue man, I'm too drunk to care"
