Contents of the Case

Everywhere this man happened to go 
He carried his case was always in tow
The contents of the case I'd like to know
Was it for work or is it just for show ?

I decided then I would do me some spying 
Really curious what's inside I'm not lying 
Just a bit of tact needs to be applying 
Then I can find out without even trying 

So I followed this man through every street
The contents of the case is nearly complete 
Thank goodness I say as I have aching feet
The case now open out came a written sheet

Of course I was at a distance and couldn't see
What was written on the paper was baffling me
For I know it could be his shopping list for tea
Will have to leave it there and let this man be
