A poor old man chants through his crumb-y beard: (In iambic dimeter) “The WORLD has CHANGED” “The WORLD has CHANGED” (sometimes unstressed-unstressed-unstressed-to-stressed, Even though his biscuit is not impressed) “The world has CHANGED” “The world has CHANGED” (and back to iambic dimeter) “The WORLD has CHANGED” “The WORLD has CHANGED” While at another table a man shouts Importantly into his busy-ness ‘phone: “SO DO YOU WANT TO PAY YOUR MONTHLY BILLS OFF EACH MONTH LIKE I DO? THIS IS A GREAT…” (He pauses for a bite of his Big Linda Braekfast [sic] Special)…“OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU I NEED GOOD SALES REPS THAT’LL WORK HARD TO REPLACE SALES REPS THAT WOULDN’T!” A part of this healthy, nutritious breakfast
