The tall distinguished looking Gentleman 
With his tropical attire, spoke in a soft voice 
He said, are you 'Allan Saywell' 
I said you be, Herbert Nehrlich' 
We shook hands outside a Russian Delicatessen 
Then we preceded to a place 
Where we could share a cold beer 
And a two hour conversation 
That went far too quickly 
Earlier we must have passed each other 
A number of times, for i was looking for a man 
With a stethascope, in a Safari suit 
He was looking for a man 
In a wool sheepskin jumpsuit, with Crocodile ties 
Instead he found a man, who looked like a white Mohican 
With a Mohican haircut, without feathers 
We drank our two cold ones 
Discussed wine women and poetry 
Exchanged gifts and promised  to meet again 
In the heat of the Tweed Valley 
Sometime around christmas
