I've known Arthur for a long time
And I thought, I mean, at least, when we both were young
That he more than any other knew who he was.
It was only recently that he desired to open up my eyes.

I told him nuts, but the bugger insisted:

And still, we're absolutely different blokes.

He looked at me, yawning, like a kitten. Yep, I said, if you say
______________________________________so.
First, I didn't want to destroy our friendship
And second, his talent as a trader with Ethiopia is quite
________________________________impressing.

Cause I never thought he too could scribble stuff in that
____________________________________sense.
For I did so. And therefore thought he couldn't.

I always thought him a well-to-do guy in the Overseas
__________________________________Division.
But these specimens have long died out, he told me.
These days, there is no more such thing as a senior sales
