I was shocked then excited, when she came to the door
asking, have ya got any food for me or maybe somethin more?

so I ran to the kitchen, skipping my feet
wondering what in gods name a traveller would eat

kidney beans, coconut milk, marmalade, rice
so unsure I was, I had to think twice

so I settled on tomatoes, relish and canned
and ran up the hallway with both in my hands

well, she opened her bags and I popped the stuff in
making stupid remarks about taste buds and tins

and I wanted to chat to her and I wanted to gawk
but she looked right and left, and then she was off.
