Guillermo left his trenchcoat near the velvet ottoman
Jacques left his near the door
Between them they owned about thirty such coats
They’d never miss two more
Guillermo left another shoe near the fireplace
Jacques warned him to watch out
If he did it again and the shoe got ruined
He’d consider Guillermo a lout.
Guillermo left his passport around here somewhere
It must be in his other pants
Jacques madly dashed uptown and back
Just so Guillermo could eat supper in France.
Guillermo left his wallet in an Uber ride
Jacques had to foot the bill
When a pizza arrived at quarter to four.
Guillermo woke the next morning quite ill.
Guillermo left his pants on a city bus
Jacques had to quiet the press
For Guillermo’s real name was Mr. Tom Hanks
And Jacques’ job was to clean up his mess.
