my hat was gray
and my briefcase was brown
or maybe it was
the other way around

the people in the street
all wore a frown
i was lost
in a strange town

down the avenue
flags were flying
messages flashed
but they were all lying

drums were beating
players were cheating
i had to get back
to the important meeting

i could not
very well
ask my way
back to the hotel

because to my
eternal shame
i had forgotten
the hotel’s name

the grand? the biltmore?
something like that
a bird flew past
and stole my hat
