There was a man br who kept his distance br but edged closer br to make use br of my hospitality. br There was a man br who kept everything br that was his br but took what br he could of mine. br br br There was a man br who kept his lips br sealed br and peeped long enough br into my open heart. br He peeped long enough br to make me br shut its doors to all. br It is not good br in the material cities - br in Roderigo's Venice br and today's Calcutta br all over time br all over the world - br to be honest and guileless; br learn to be double br and to keep tight br your lips and purses br or retire to a quiet deserted cave.
