I am a War Correspondent

In world that has run out of wars

Last year I picked up a hitchiker

Who said that she had been mugged

All I ever found out about her

Was that her name was Anne

And that she was from Le Mans

I gave her some money

To enable her to fly back to France

A few weeks ago I was on the same road

About an hour outside of Athens

When I met the same girl

This time she said her name was Piranesi

And she was Paris born and bred

Although she considered me familiar

She did not recognise me

Until I told her who I was

And the circumstances

Of our previous meeting

I congratulated her on her scam

And we promised to meet again in Brno
