Mr Osman



Why I didnt write it
Because I thought
They wouldnt like it
Mr Osman is Turkish

Where right is write
And wrong is the gong for dinner
At the Restaurant
Around the corner of an Istanbul street

An orange seller hails me
I run 44 flights downtown
And buy one orange
A Present for Mr Osman of Istanbul!
