Archy and Javert


well boss

i have been in paris for two weeks now
mehitabel is missing again and i think we
can only hope she
has not met another fran�ois villon

and boss the other night i was relaxing by the river seine
when a hairy-faced policeman
decided to end his life

o lawman of great face fungus i said to him
why are you jumping off this bridge
when i am trying to enjoy the summer evening
interrogation mark

because little creeping insect said he i
have just learned that the convict i have hunted
for the last twenty some years
is innocent

twenty years exclamation mark
i cried

twenty years he said and with that
he plunged off the bridge
to his watery fate down below
with his sideburns streaming in the wind

well boss if you ask me
the law is becoming a little peculiar
these days
